Sport in Worthing (Paperback, UK ed.)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A wide variety of sport in Worthing has been played, which has a long and interesting history. Worthing's location between the sea and the downs makes the area a popular location for outdoor recreation. The town's five miles of coastline and its wide open water makes it a popular location for watersports, especially catamaran racing, windsurfing and kitesurfing and the town has held a regatta for rowing since at least 1859. The South Downs is popular for hiking and mountain-biking, with around 22 trail-heads within the borough. The Downs is also the location for the Three Forts Marathon, a 27-mile ultramarathon from Broadwater to the three iron age hill forts of Cissbury Ring, Chanctonbury Ring and Devil's Dyke. The Downs is also home to two of Worthing's three golf clubs, including Worthing Golf Club.
