Huntsman World Senior Games inaugurates new headquarters in Saint George

In a moment that felt like a culmination of decades of dreams, the Huntsman World Senior Games celebrated the opening of their new headquarters in St. George, Utah, on June 10, 2025. This significant milestone marks a transformative step for the largest annual multi-sport event for seniors, which has been a labor of love for nearly 40 years.

The new headquarters, a spacious 10,000 square-foot facility, consolidates all operations under one roof, a far cry from its humble beginnings in a truck and trailer. This accessible space not only houses office and storage areas but also provides ample room for sporting equipment, making it easier for volunteers to organize and prepare for events. The excitement in the air was palpable as attendees recognized the potential for enhanced collaboration and community engagement.

Kaye, a key figure in the organization, shared how years of careful planning and financial support from partners, including the state of Utah and the Huntsman Family Foundation, made this dream a reality. “We’ve built up a reserve to help pay for the new building over the years,” Kaye noted, highlighting the collective effort that brought them to this point.

The Huntsman World Senior Games, founded in 1987 by John and Daisy Morgan, has grown to attract over 12,300 athletes from around the globe, with a remarkable 77% return rate among participants. The games are not just about competition; they foster friendships and promote health and wellness among seniors. As one participant reflected, “What brings those who compete back is not the medals, but more the relationships and friends while creating worldwide peace.”

The new headquarters is expected to enhance the experience for both athletes and volunteers, providing a bright and welcoming environment that reflects the spirit of the games. With over 40 different sports on offer, this year’s event promises to be another record-breaking occasion, scheduled for October.

As the community gathered to celebrate this new chapter, the legacy of founder John Morgan was honored, reminding everyone of the enduring mission to promote fitness, friendship, and goodwill across the globe. Registration for this year’s games is still open, inviting seniors aged 50 and older to join in the fun and camaraderie that the Huntsman World Senior Games embody.
