Game on in Adelaide for the Australian Masters Games

Game on in Adelaide for the Australian Masters Games
October 9, 2015

The 15th Australian Masters Games is currently in its penultimate day of competition with 10,000 participants, volunteers and staff engaged in 49 sports.

Being held from Saturday 3rd to Saturday 10th October, the eight day event is regarded as one of the premier and largest mass-participation events on the Australian sporting landscape.

The Australian Masters Games aims to promote the benefits of long-term health and wellbeing by providing a platform through which adult Australians can compete, socialise and enjoy sport.

From archery to volleyball and everything in between, the Australian Masters Games offers something for everyone – no matter their ability or experience.

South Australian sporting legend and radio presenter Chris Dittmar is the Chairman of the 15th Australian Masters Games advisory board, and believes it is the social and inclusive nature of the Games that truly set them apart from other events.

Dittmar explains that while “some participants target  fast times and medals, for the vast majority, the event has been about keeping fit and active, while enjoying a sport they love amongst friends old and new.

The event is also injecting millions of dollars into the local South Australian economy, attracting participants from all states and territories of Australia as well as a number of international entrants from 14 countries.

During the Games the Airbnb Games Village has played host to the very best music, food and drink South Australia has to offer every night.

The Australian Masters Games is sponsored by the South Australian Tourism Commission through Events South Australia.

The Australian Masters Games is a property of the Confederation of Australian Sport.
