Rocky Mountain Senior Games
What are the Rocky Mountain Senior Games?
The Rocky Mountain Senior Games began in 1977 as a one-day athletic event sponsored by four
Denver-area senior centers for their members. Sixty adults, age 55+, met at Englewood High
School for track, field, basketball, and swimming events.
The first games stemmed from the notion that opportunity for senior athletic competition was
extremely limited. The originators believed the Games provided a unique opportunity for adults
age 55+ to become involved in a variety of activities and stay fit.
Eventually the games were moved to Greeley where they attracted participants from cities
throughout Colorado. The addition of tennis and bowling tournaments, along with changing the
age to 50+, increased participation as well as out-of-state involvement.
By participating in the Games, athletes have the opportunity to qualify every other year for
competition at the national level.
The games are well known throughout Colorado as well as surrounding communities and
states. The Games encourage seniors to challenge themselves athletically, socially and
intellectually. The future of the Games is very exciting!
"RMSG was an experience that is a highlight of 2014 for me."
~ Peggy Hartmann, RMSG athlete
“The games are well organized, friendly and utilize good facilities.”
~ George Moore, RMSG athlete
