What is the National Congress of State Games?

The National Congress of State Games (NCSG) is a membership organization comprised of 31 Summer State Games and 10 Winter State Games organizations and a community-based member of the United States Olympic Committee.

The NCSG is also the rights holder of the State Games of America, an Olympic-style event featuring competition between State Games medal winners (gold, silver, bronze) from across the nation.

 

Thirty one states are conducting or organizing statewide sports festivals known as State Games. Modeled after the Olympic Games, State Games provide a motivational goal for all athletes within the state in which they are organized.

Nationwide more than 90 sports are offered each year in State Games with competitions held in 536 communities for participants from over 6,000 cities and towns. Competitions are both recreational and competitive and have been the first step for many Olympic and professional athletes.

Who participates in State Games?

Each year nearly 500,000 athletes of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels take part in State Games competitions nationwide. An additional 1.2 million spectators attend State Games events made possible by the work of thousands of coaches, parents, officials, sponsors and more than 100,000 volunteers.

Duke City BMX rocks the Fathers Day Race

The Annual Fathers Day Race at Duke City BMX was a blast! The novelty relay race where fathers start out wearing super large ties in the starting gate, then race to half track to meet their partner. At the half way point the partners wait with their bikes staged upside down till their Dad's arrive and place the extra large Tie around their heads, then the partners are free to pick up their bikes and take off in an all out race to the finish.

We had 3 separate races in the Fathers Day Race novelty event! Dad's start training for next years race!

Congratulations to all participants in the special races and our normal Sunday Trophy race today.
