The Rocky Mountain State Games is an Olympic-style amateur multi-sport festival held each July in Colorado Springs, produced by the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation. Athletes of all ages and ability levels, including those with physical, visual, or intellectual disabilities, compete across more than 35 sports at venues around the city.
Colorado Springs has spent decades building its reputation as Olympic City USA, home to the U.S.
Few regional amateur sports festivals match its breadth: competitions range from mainstream events like basketball, swimming, and track and field to niche disciplines such as archery, pickleball, and billiards, all under one umbrella event produced by the same organization that supports Colorado Springs' status as Olympic City USA
Its explicit inclusion of athletes with visual impairment, intellectual disabilities, and physical disabilities distinguishes it from many state games programs, and it forms part of the national State Games of America network, connecting local amateur athletes to a broader multi-state amateur sports movement
The games extend Colorado Springs' identity as home to the U
Olympic and Paralympic Training Center and numerous national sports governing bodies
channeling that same Olympic-style infrastructure and event-hosting expertise into a grassroots amateur competition open to residents rather than only elite athletes
