2017 New Zealand Masters Games

2017 will see some significant changes for the Games, with the relocation of the Games Village to the War Memorial Centre, and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies to be held at Cooks Gardens where Peter Snell broke the world record for the mile in 1964.s well as the competitive events there are social twilight events. The opportunity for healthy competition is craved by Masters Games participants – and the simple joy of participation and the chance to meet old and new friends is what makes the Games a truly rewarding experience.
