LONDON -Britain plans to host a "world-class" sporting event at least once every two weeks from now until the start of the London 2012 Olympics.
UK Sport says that 20 towns will stage at least one of the events over the 1,000 days left before the opening ceremony.
The $52.9 million program covers 30 Olympic and Paralympic sports.
The first of the 64 events starts Friday with the UCI Track Cycling World Cup in Manchester.
