The Marlowe Academy, Olympic Training Ca...

Athletics

The athletics facility at The Marlowe Academy is amongst the newest in the UK, providing a high-quality training centre.
The facility caters for all events across the field of athletics and caters for disabled athletes.

There is a fully-equipped, eight-lane 400m track with a high-quality throwing/jumping area. There is also an additional sports field along with a general-use sports hall to which your team will have access.

The site offers a quiet venue, allowing athletes and managers to focus on their training to ensure the right preparation in the right conditions.

The Marlowe Academy will be able to cater for a number of special requests and will do its very best to ensure that you have everything you need in preparation for the London 2012 Games.

The venue has great transport links to the City of London, the Port of Dover and a number of international airports. As the Isle of Thanet is a popular tourist location, it benefits from a great number of accommodation locations.

Thanet itself is a unique location benefiting from its reputation of culture, beautiful beaches and great surrounding facilities, from sports centres to shopping centres. Kent International Airport in Manston is less than five kilometres from the venue and there are a number of hotels and restaurants within four kilometers of the site. We are located 20km from the City of Canterbury.

It is our key objective to provide you with highest quality of service and to ensure your needs are met.
