This extraordinary event will set the stage for athletes to showcase their skills, dedication, and teamwork on a national level. 

Taking place every four years, USA Games features thousands of elite athletes from across the nation for a world-class display of athleticism in front of thousands of fans.  This year, Special Olympics NorCal is proudly sending a delegation of 68 Athletes and 20 Coaches to the prestigious USA Games, set for June 20-26, 2026 In Minnesota!

With less than 4 months to go, excitement is building as our athletes continue their training and prepare to go for the gold. Through the power of sports and inclusion, the USA Games will inspire change that transforms lives and communities—and the Special Olympics NorCal athletes will stand as shining examples of the true spirit of competition.
