The Tennessee Senior Olympics began in 1981 with a mission that has continued for over 25 years: to promote healthy lifestyles for senior adults through fitness, sports and an active involvement in life. The Senior Olympics encourages older adults to stay active, and gives them a reason to renew past skills or learn new ones. Key goals are to: maintain and improve the health and wellness of Tennessee’s seniors, provide a competitive athletic, recreational and creative experience and to provide an opportunity for socialization for seniors from across the state.
The Chattanooga District Senior Olympics are sponsored by: Alexian Brothers Senior Neighbors, Alexian Brothers Senior Ministries, Chattanooga Department of Parks and Recreation, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Sunny 92.3.
