Healthy Athletes is open to all Special Olympics Athletes even if you are not registered for the Summer Games.
The Healthy Athletes Village is a community inside of the Summer Games, with the purpose of engaging the athletes in six of the seven disciplines of health and wellness: Fit Feet, FUNFitness, Health Promotion, Healthy Hearing, *Medfest, Opening Eyes and Special Smiles. (*Medfest is held in the fall)
