More than 500 seniors from across York County are expected to come together in late June for the 18th annual York County Senior Games.

The York County Senior Games began in 2002 as a one-day program featuring approximately 20 events. It now extends for five days and offers participants the chance to test their skills in 48 events.

The goal is to promote healthy lifestyles and fitness for York County men and women aged 50 and older. Registration is now open for this year’s games, which will take place June 17–21.

Events will include annual favorites such as cornhole, horseshoes, shuffleboard, throws, basketball hot shots, pinochle, Wii bowling, and the seventh year of the triathlon. A new event for 2019 is pickleball.

There is a $15 registration fee for an unlimited number of events. All registrations must be postmarked by the June 7 registration deadline.

The Senior Games are organized by the York County Area Agency on Aging in conjunction with the Senior Games Planning Committee.

Any York County resident 50 years of age or older as of Dec. 31, 2019, may participate.

Registration booklets are available at many locations throughout the county or can be obtained by contacting the York County Area Agency on Aging at (717) 771-9001 or (800) 632-9073.
