NVSO 2026 hosted the largest number of participants to date with 1,356 senior adults (ages 50+) registered to enjoy 96 events over 22 days at 34 locations across Northern Virginia. Our motto is Living Healthy Longer by providing opportunities for participation, competition, self-improvement and fellowship through various athletic and recreational events.

A heartfelt thank you to all participants, patrons, sponsoring jurisdictions, and volunteers including members of the NVSO Committee and Event Directors. We're wrapping up the paperwork and updating the website. Taking time to review what went well and where we can improve. Each year's NVSO gets bigger and bigger.

Look for amazing things at NVSO 2027 in September and October, as it will be our 45th anniversary. Till then keep up the good work in pursuit of Living Healthy Longer.

NVSO 2026 may be over, but you can revisit the moments through the photography of members of the Osher Lifelong Learning (OLLI) Photography Group at George Mason University and of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society. We are indebted to the dozen photographers who volunteered their time and expertise capturing individual and group efforts of what it means to be a Northern Virginia Senior Olympic athlete.

To get an overview, see the photographs chosen by the photographers themselves in a gallery named "the best of the best overall."
