The Huntsman World Senior Games were founded in 1987 by Daisy and John H. Morgan, Jr., owners of the Hilton Inn, with the goal of promot- ing peace, health, and friendship through athletic competition. Jon M. Huntsman, Chairman of the Board
of the Huntsman Corporation, also recognized the Games’ value in foster- ing lifetime fitness and became its principal sponsor in 1989. The great success of the Games is the result of thousands of volunteers and scores of sponsors who provide financial and other support.

The swim will be through the Sand Hollow Reservoir, and the bike and run will be throughout the county with excellent views of downtown St. George, Snow Canyon, and Red Cliffs Desert Reserve. It will be open to 2,500 participants. The striking scenery and contrasting landscapes of the St. George area provide a spectacular setting for such an event.
