The 2009 Senior Games

Make a commitment to your health and fitness by joining in the fun of the Senior Games. The largest-ever group of senior athletes is expected to compete at the next National Summer Senior Games, to be held Aug 1–15, 2009, in the San Francisco Bay area, with the hub of the event at the Stanford University campus. Nearly 15,000 seniors are expected to show up to compete in 18 sports.

Humana will again be the presenting sponsor for the 2009 Games. These Games carry the theme: Long Live the Challenge. The competitive events include archery, badminton, basketball, bowling, cycling, golf, horseshoes, race walk, racquetball, road race, shuffleboard, softball, swimming, table tennis, track and field, triathlon and volleyball.

Athletes, who must be aged 50 or older to compete in the Senior Games, advance to the National Games by first doing well in local games and then at the state level.

Want to get involved but not compete? The Senior Games is also looking for volunteers. If you would like to volunteer for the event, visit 2009SeniorGames.org
