Delaware County Senior Games 2017

The 27th annual Delaware County Senior Games, held June 12-23 at 13 separate venues across the county, were an overwhelming success with 681 participants ages 50 and older. The games featured ten days of competitive events, medal presentations, and inspiring performances from the participants, who perseveringly competed despite some hot, humid, and threatening weather. The Delaware County Senior Games are sponsored by Delaware County Council, the Department of Parks and Recreation, Destination Delco, and the County of Delaware Services for the Aging (COSA). The games are held yearly at the start of each summer and all residents aged 50 and older are encouraged to participate. The theme for this year’s games was “Age in Motion.”
