My father won the bronze in the 100 feet pickup race. It is like the hurdles but instead of hurdles they place a penny ever ten feet down your lane and you have to bend over to collect them all and then get past the finish line.  |

I think I would like to try out for something. The Az web site does a pretty poor job of giving information, I will try maybe the National web site. My wife did suggest that I would have a chance at the Gold Metal in Running in circles and jumping to conclusions, Running off at the mouth,,,, Hmmmmm.

Has any one here even looked into participating or know some that has? Been doing them for years at the local and state level. Never went to Nationals due to the travel time and distance. But the next National Games in 2021 are in my backyard, in Fort Lauderdale, so I plan to compete. My local qualifier is at the end of October, states are in December. This year is not a qualifying year for Nationals, but next year is. I just want to get a jump on it; check out the venues and the competition, so I know what to expect.

Where can I find the different sports that are participated in? The AZ web page runs you in circles.

The National Senior Games: the sports don't change much from year to year. The next national games are in 2021. Arizona's website: the list of games is about 1/3 of the way down the page, but the second link indicates your games have already run in February of this year. You are allowed to qualify in another state, however, if you can travel to do so.
