Pre-Games training camps

Suffolk's tranquil and relaxed environment and close proximity to Stratford and the Olympic Park makes it a great place to prepare for the London 2012 Olympic Games. Suffolk boasts 11 facilities that have been accredited as official London 2012 Pre-Games Training Camp venues. 

Three Suffolk locations have already been chosen by Olympic and Paralympic Teams from other countries as a base to prepare for the 2012 Games.

• Rwanda has chosen Bury St Edmunds
• Azerbaijan has selected Ipswich
• Brazilian Women's Gymnastics Team will train in Ipswich
• The Canadian Mens Gymnasts will train in Lowestoft
• The Australian Mens Gymnasts will train in Lowestoft

Go Rwanda is the name of a project set up by the St Edmundsbury Steering Group for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to promote the Rwanda pre-games training camp and encourage the community to adopt Rwanda as their 2nd team. The Sport for Rwanda project aims to enable hundreds of thousands of school children to take part in sport in Rwandan schools - visit www.sportforrwanda.org for information.
