Kent Sport events

As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations, Kent Sport organised 50 events aimed at encouraging students, staff and members of the local community to become more active. The events ranged from quizzes to parties, and included competitions, trips and taster sessions:

Kent Sport does Come Dancing

Kent Sport collaborated with the Latin & Ballroom, Belly Dancing and Salsa societies to host Kent Sport does Come Dancing.

Zombie Run

A Halloween-themed fun run around the Kent grounds. Each runner wore a tag belt and had to complete the course with both tags still in place. The challenge was to avoid the zombies who were strategically placed around the route, whose job was to try and remove the tags.
