Registration open for SC Senior Sports Classic
The South Carolina Senior Sports Classic will return in 2026 with a monthlong, multi-sport competition encouraging adults 40 and older to stay active and connected through athletics.
The 2026 event is scheduled to run from April 10 through May 7 at athletic venues across South Carolina. Organizers say the annual competition promotes healthy aging by offering both recreational and competitive opportunities for older adults.
Sports offered include archery, badminton, basketball, bocce, bowling, chair volleyball, cornhole, cycling, golf, pickleball, pocket billiards, racquetball, shuffleboard, softball, swimming, table tennis, tennis, track and field, triathlon, and 5K and 10K runs.
Online registration is open from Jan. 1 through April 1. Participants are expected from communities throughout South Carolina, along with some competitors traveling from other states.
Organizers say the event is designed to demonstrate that adults can remain physically active and socially engaged at any age. A representative for the South Carolina Senior Sports Classic said the program’s mission is to promote positive self-image and quality of life through fitness, social interaction and community involvement.
The South Carolina Senior Sports Classic is the state’s only sanctioned site for the National Senior Games Association, giving eligible participants the opportunity to qualify for the National Senior Games.
