Kansas Senior Olympics
The Kansas Senior Olympics is a multi-sport event that promotes fitness, good health, participation and excellence in senior athletes ages 50 years and older. The Kansas Senior Olympic games were established in 1984 by Parks and Recreation of Topeka and the Senior Adult Program. Over the years, the games and programs have been an avenue for thousands of athletes and participants to continue or begin their competitive journey to a healthier lifestyle. Our mission is to continue to provide an outlet for those seeking fitness through sports.
Topeka is the only sanctioned site in Kansas for athletes to qualify for the National Senior Games. Athletes who meet preset requirements at the Kansas Senior Olympics in even numbered years, will qualify to participate in the National Senior Games presented by Humana that are held in odd numbered years.

The event will be headquartered at the Big Gage Shelterhouse, Gage Park, 10th and Gage, in Topeka with venues throughout the city. It is anticipated that up to 750 senior athletes from across Kansas and the nation will take part in these games.
National Senior Games Association

The NSGA is the umbrella association for member state organizations across the United States that host State Senior Games or Senior Olympics.
The NSGA supports and sanctions these member state organizations so that adults can participate in their state in events year-round that will keep them motivated to achieve greater value and quality in their lives by staying healthy, active and fit. The national association works with state and federal agencies, colleges and universities to better understand and support healthy aging initiatives for seniors and partners with national leaders committed to senior health, wellness and quality of life. The NSGA is committed to providing information to support education and research initiatives enabling senior athletes and others to be better informed about ways to ensure healthy aging.
