Cherokee County Senior Olympics

In Cherokee County, Senior Olympics events usually take place during the month of April; 2019 details and dates are still in the works.

Last year over 230 medals were given out to seniors ranging in age from 50 to 96, according to Diane Page, Treasurer for the Cherokee County Senior Olympics. Though Page says the top event is pickleball, 17 other games will be offered including Bocce ball, frisbee golf and basketball free throw, one-mile walk, billiards, Wii bowling, swimming and bowling.

“Our goal is to create awareness of the abilities and capabilities of seniors and to help promote, maintain and improve health awareness and an interest in lifetime sports, recreation and physical activity,” Page said.

County games are only part of the Senior Olympic fun. Georgia residents 50 and over will also have the opportunity will participate in the Georgia Golden Olympics on the state level. In 2018, this event was held in September in Warner Robins.

Although detailed plans for 2019 are still in the works, interested seniors can visit georgiagoldenolympics.org for more information. The National Senior Games, which feature participants from all over the U.S., will take place in Albuquerque, N. M. from June 14 to June 25. According to the website, “the biennial competition for men and women 50 and over is the largest multi-sport event in the world for seniors.”

Georgia is one of the states that’s already eligible and approved to register athletes for 2019. A “non-profit organization dedicated to motivating active adults to lead a healthy lifestyle through the senior games movement,” the NSGA drew in over 10,000 senior athletes participating in over 20 different sports for 2018.
