Adult Olympics Activities Calendar

Last Updated 9/25/2024


The City of Monticello is excited to announce the activities list for the Adult Olympics—a year-long program designed to bring our community together through a diverse range of physical and non-physical activities. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete, a trivia buff, or just someone looking for a fun way to stay active and engaged, this program has something for everyone.

What to Expect

The Adult Olympics guarantees two monthly events that will test your skills, challenge your creativity, offer a great way to meet new people and bring out your competitive spirit.  This program is open to participants aged 18 and up. Teams of up to eight members can register for the entire year or choose to participate in individual events. Points will be awarded for participation, placement, and bonus points (details to come), with overall champions crowned at the end of the year.
