Olympic Venues
Hadleigh Farm
Hadleigh Farm is just 25 miles (40km) from the Olympic Park in Stratford and was chosen as the venue for the mountain biking events due its unique terrain; providing a technically challenging course for the world class competitors.
As a bespoke elite competition course for the London 2012 event the Hadleigh Farm venue is not open to the public to use. However plans are developing to retain the course and deliver a legacy for after 2012 which makes the most of everything this stunning and largely undiscovered part of South Essex has to offer.

Lee Valley White Water Centre
With two brand new, purpose built courses, including the 5.5m high 300m long Olympic Standard Competition Course, Lee Valley White Water Centre will play host to the exciting canoe slalom events. The venue is just 20 miles (30km) from the Olympic Park in Stratford.
Lee Valley White Water Centre is the only brand new 2012 venue which the public can use and enjoy before the Games. It is the best white water venue of its type anywhere in the world and will be welcoming thousands of visitors keen to try the adrenalin charged rapids both before and after the Games.
The Centre is perfect for rafting and canoeing for community groups, businesses, and champions in the making and ideal for fun days out, team building and party weekends.
60,000 spectators will visit the Centre over the course of the Games to watch 5 days of thrilling events and with British medal hopes high, home support is expected.
