Special Olympics Northern CA Bay Area Games

The inaugural Bay Area Games will mark the first interscholastic competition created specifically for special education student-athletes in the Bay Area. More than 300 students, representing San Francisco, San Mateo and Contra Costa counties are expected to compete in three different track and field disciplines.

The day’s events begin at 10 am PT with opening ceremonies followed by two action-packed hours of track and field competition (10:30 am – 1:30 pm), and conclude with a medal ceremony.

The event is open to all qualified special education student-athletes grades K-12, who have all been training for the competition as part of the Special Olympics Schools Partnership Program.
