Elko is once again gearing up for one of its most inspiring and energetic traditions—the 23rd Annual Elko Senior Olympic Games. This multi-day event brings together active adults 50 and better from across the region to compete, connect, and celebrate health, wellness, and community spirit across more than 17 exciting events. 

Online registration is now open at www.elkoseniorolympicgames.com, and due to high demand, registration will close early this year on July 16, 2025. Early registrants will receive a commemorative swag bag and be guaranteed entry into their selected events.

Behind the scenes, a dedicated team of volunteer event coordinators and board members has worked to bring this year’s games to life. Their passion and planning ensure that everything runs smoothly—from pickleball and billiards to cycling and track & field.

The success of the Games wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support from our community, including local sponsors, volunteers, and facilities that generously lend their time, resources, and encouragement.

Most importantly, we honor our amazing participants—athletes who show that age is just a number. Their energy, sportsmanship, and determination continue to inspire us all and make this event one of the most anticipated in Elko each summer.  “Our participants are truly inspiring,” said Jenny Eckert, longtime organizer. “They show us that age is no limit when it comes to competition, camaraderie, and celebrating an active lifestyle.”

Whether you’re competing, cheering from the sidelines, or volunteering, we thank you for being part of this wonderful tradition. Here’s to another fantastic year of fun, fitness, and friendship at the Elko Senior Olympic Games!
