Elko Senior Games

The Elko Senior Activities Program has been coordinating with the Elko Senior Games as a local sponsor for the past five years in order to help promote the health and fitness lifestyle for everyone over age 50. Elko Senior Games Board Members use the Terrace Senior Center to meet and plan the annual event. The Terrace is obviously a strong recruiting site, with the ability to recruit and sign-up seniors as participants for the local games. In addition, the Elko Senior Activities Program participates in the event as a host site for the Senior Games opening ceremonies. By participating as a host site, seniors in the community have the opportunity to attend even a small part of this annual event, even if they themselves have not registered to participate. The Senior Games have more than 17 events that range from golf to weight lifting and has had upwards of 200 participants per year. This annual event, for seniors, encourages them to remain active in their community and competitive.
