Athlete Information

The Special Olympics sports experience has always been rooted in the radical notion that every person has the capacity to be an Olympian. Whether your interest is competitive or social in nature, we’ve got you covered.  Area 2 Special Olympics organizes and/or runs about 15 competitions each year for athletes of all ages, at no cost to participants

Recent Events

This past weekend demonstrated the stamina our athletes posses as they participated in three days of summer games in our State Capital. The weather was perfect for this exciting event, in fact, maybe a little too perfect as the temperatures rose above 90 and produced some rather hot conditions on the asphalt tracks.  There were no complaints, though, as everyone was too busy having a good time.

Heres a link to the Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper article covering the Special Olympics summer games.
