“To provide Kansas citizens with a wholesome avenue for personal development through sports and physical activity, to recognize their dedication and achievement, and to provide an opportunity to participate in an Olympic-style event.”
Description:
The Sunflower State Games is a statewide amateur sports festival for all Kansans. The purpose of the Games is to provide top-quality amateur competition in a wide range of activities and promote physical fitness, personal health and well-being for Kansans of all ages and skill levels. We offer competition in 40 different sports and rely on volunteers who dedicate time and energy to ensure the Games run smoothly.
Many athletes are attracted by the Olympic feeling the Games embodies. Others come to enjoy the spirit of competition and to renew friendships made by participating in the Games annually. Our hope is that all who participate enjoy the experience!

History:
The Sunflower State Games began in Lawrence, KS with 2,381 athletes competing in 14 sports. In 2002, after 12 years in Lawrence, it moved to Topeka with expectations of growing participation and community involvement.
During its five-year tenure in Topeka, SSG has drawn an average of 6,000 athletes from 82 counties across the state to participate in more than 30 events. A recognized program of the United States Olympic Committee, the Sunflower State Games provides an opportunity for Kansas’ amateur athletes to further develop their physical talents and competitive abilities.
