A wide variety of sport in Worthing has been played, which has a long and interesting history. ==Current sports== 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Three Forts Challenge )〕 The Downs is also home to two of Worthing's three golf clubs, including Worthing Golf Club. Home to Bowls England, Worthing is, with Johannesburg, one of only two locations in the world to have hosted the men's World Bowls Championships twice. The five international standard bowling greens at Beach House Park, which is sometimes known as the spiritual home of bowls, is the venue for the National Championships each August. Competitors come from all over England to compete in the various events which culminate in the inter-county Middleton Cup that takes place on the final day each year. Various other representative and international bowls fixtures take place at Beach House Park from time to time including the British Isles Championships and Junior Internationals. A range of motorsports, including stock car racing, banger racing and go kart racing take place at the Oval Raceway in the outlying village of Angmering. Founded in 2001, Worthing is home to a self-funded wrestling organisation called the Just Wrestling Foundation (JWF), which is currently based at St Richard's Church Hall in Durrington. Worthing has also been a mainstay for wrestling promoter John Freemantle and his Premier Promotions wrestling bouts, held for several years at both the Worthing Pavilion and the Assembly Hall. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sport in Worthing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
