Go for the Gold: 2022 Durham Senior Games & SilverArts

Who's ready to go for the gold!? Registration is officially open for the 2022 Durham Senior Games & SilverArts (DSGSA)! This Olympic style competition is designed to create a year-round health promotion and competition for participants that are 50+ years old. Join us during this year’s games taking place April 11 through May 9, 2022. 

As we continue dealing with COVID-19, there have been many changes to the 2022 DSGSA. The number of both athletic and artistic events, the format of SilverArts submissions, and a number of other necessary changes have been implemented. Our top priority is safety for our athletes, staff, and volunteers. It is important that we provide these games in a limited format, and we will look forward to returning to our full slate and scope in the years ahead.

Registration is now open through Friday, March 18 and here are the two ways to register:
Keep in mind, all registrations must be completed by 5 p.m. Friday, March 18. All mail-in registrations must be received or postmarked by 5 p.m. Friday, March 18. Any registrations received after that date and time will be returned with no exceptions.

Entry fees are $14 for City Residents and $19 for Non-City Residents. Fees include entry into all events except for golf and bowling, which is an additional fee. A discounted rate of 10% will be given to those with a Play More Card.

Have a passion for the Arts!? Participate in one of the four Silver Arts categories: Heritage Arts, Literary Arts, Visual Arts and/or Performing Arts. You may enter up to seven (7) pieces, with a maximum of two entries per sub-category. Some of the sub-categories include woodcarving, drawing, needlework jewelry making, poetry, short stories and more! For more information on the sub-categories, obtain and review the official registration form as well as our website.
