All competitors must be at least 55 years of age by December 31 of the year of the games.

AGE CATEGORIES / EVENTS:

Competitors can enter a maximum of four (4) events, plus the relay. Track events are 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m and 3000m, Ladies' 4 X 100m relay, men's 4 X 100m relay. Field events are long jump, triple jump, javelin, discus and shot put. You must enter these events with your registration. All relays will be additional events comprised of competitors at the games. One ladies team and one men’s team per province/territory

Predicted Walk:

Competitors can enter two (2) events: 400m walk each day for two (2) days (total 800m) and 1000m each day for two (2) days (total 2000m). The lowest combined total difference for each of the 400m and 1000m walked twice will determine the winner. For example: when 400m is walked the first time and the walker is over their predicted time by 6 seconds, and on the second walk they are under their predicted time by 3 seconds, the combined total time difference for that walker is 9 seconds.

Participants cannot enter the timed events, but can, if necessary, enter the relay in their proper gender and can also enter two (2) field events.
