For the first time in our 18 year history the nations largest amateur Winter Sports Festival eclipsed the magical "10,000" athlete threshold. The 17 weekend marathon, except for Easter weekend ,captured 10,313 athletes!! 23 sports were up and 11 were down.
A special thank you to my loyal staff,supportive board members,competitive athletes,tireless volunteers, and knowledgeable commissioners for their unconditional commitment to this worthy endeavor!
Next up the Summer Games, followed by the crowning jewel of our year long format, The Lori Piestewa National Native American Games!
Thank you one and all!

The Grand Canyon State Games is a multi-sport Olympic Festival providing a showcase for the talents and aspirations for Arizona and America's youth regardless of age or ability and to share many of the great attributes of our state. In fact we have had a 3 year old come down the mountain in our Winter skiing event and a 99 year old gentleman throw the javelin in our Track & Field event. We truly have something for everyone.
