Since the 1st edition in 2008 in Malmo, the popularity of this event has been steadily growing as more and more adults focus on a healthy lifestyle and enjoy life by integrating sports into their daily routine. The previous edition in Torino gathered over 7500 athletes from all over the world.

With a little more than over a year to go, Tampere 2023 will work together with the IMGA to organise a vibrant and fun sport event for all Masters athletes participating.

The event website will soon be released, so stay tuned!
