LONG-TERM THINKING FOR LONG-TERM HEALTH From wheelchair basketball to mud runs, from children’s archery to a 91-year-old track & field participant, the Iowa Games, and our affiliated events, have provided sports, recreation, health and wellness opportunities to Iowans of all abilities—for over 30 years. Our best brand is the Iowa Games, but it is the 34-member board of the Iowa Sports Foundation who powers the programs, events and challenges that attract more than 250,000 participants every year.
