The Board of the Kentucky Senior Games met May 28 and has decided to cancel the 2020 Kentucky Senior Games which were scheduled for August and September. The Kentucky Senior Games are a series of 25 sports for those 50 and over. This year’s events were the qualifying events for the 2021 National Senior Games to be held in Fort Lauderdale. This year’s event had expected to attract more than 800 competitors from 25 states. 70% of those competitors would be over 60 years of age, the most vulnerable group for the Coronavirus. For the safety of all participants, officials and volunteers, the events have been cancelled. The National Senior Games has set up alternative methods of qualifying for next year’s National Games. See the link below for the alternative qualifying procedure.
Basically if you qualified in 2016 or 2018 for the Birmingham and Albuquerque games, you are qualified for 2021. There will be a registration period for all those qualified athletes. After that there will be an open registration for anyone who was not able to qualify. We hope to see you all at the Kentucky Senior Games in 2021. Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Stay Active and Fit!
The goal of the Kentucky Senior Games is to maintain or improve the physical, mental, and emotional health of all Kentuckians 50 years of age and over through a year-round program of fitness and health promotion, as well as providing competitive opportunities for those 40-49, even though those athletes do not move on to the National Senior Games. This is accomplished through seasonal competitions at local, regional, and state levels.
The Kentucky Senior Games encourages older adults to stay active and fit, revive past fitness and recreational skills or learn new ones. Social events, ceremonies, and the arts are also an integral part of this successful program.
