Greenville-Pitt County Senior Games

Celebrating Fitness, Art, and Connection in the 50+ Community

Each spring, adults ages 50 and older from all 100 North Carolina counties come together to take part in their local Senior Games held statewide. You can choose events that match your interests and abilities, whether you enjoy friendly competition, creative expression, or trying something new. The Games offer more than 40 sporting events and Silver Arts categories, including visual, literary, performing, and heritage arts. Participants who compete locally may qualify to advance to the North Carolina Senior Games State Finals held in the fall. During qualifying years, registered participants of State Finals may also qualify to compete in National Senior Games.  Greenville-Pitt County Senior Games are coordinated through Pitt County Cultural Arts & Recreation with support from various organizations, creating welcoming opportunities to stay active, explore your creativity, and connect with others in the community.  For more information, call Pitt County Cultural Arts & Recreation at 252-902-1975.
