Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the steps involved with running a successful regional Senior Olympics Games (SOG). It serves as a template for others to provide seniors an opportunity to compete and socialize in a fun, supportive atmosphere. The main purpose of the SOG is to provide an annual physical fitness gathering to promote a social, competitive, athletic, and recreational event for older adults.
