UK’s First Festival of Sport in Cornwall From Sept. 14–16

Cornwall will play host to the UK’s first Festival of Sport from September 14 to September 16, 2012. The new annual three-day festival will be held in Mount’s Bay in West Cornwall, and will consist of a triathlon, cycling races, a cross-country race, open-water swimming and a beach run.

The festival will also host live music and entertainment events, a Sporting Expo with talks from leading sports nutritionists, trainers and physiologists, and other sporting activities such as touch rugby, beach volleyball and netball. Camp sites and shower facilities will be set up within 100 metres of the main site.

The festival aims to raise funds for Wings for Life, the spinal cord injury charity.
