**IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT**
After careful consideration of new developments regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19), we have made the difficult decision to cancel all Special Olympics Wisconsin competitions and practices through May 31. While canceling events and practices is disappointing for athletes who love to train and compete alongside their friends, we know that our love of sport does not compare to the importance of protecting the health of our athletes and their surrounding communities.
If you have any questions related to the event cancellations, please email info@specialolympicswisconsin.org.
Special Olympics Athletics has “sprinted” into international popularity with over 400,000 athletes in US Programs. Athletics is offered in every local program in the world representing over 140 countries and is the largest sport. Athletes are grouped in divisions according to their ability level, age and gender.
Athletes can compete in running events from the 100M dash to the 3000M run or relays. Some athletes also compete in field events such as the high jump, shot put, long jump and softball throw. Athletes of lower ability can participate in walking and throwing events and physically disabled athletes compete in wheelchair events.
