Maine Senior Games / Martin’s Point Celebration of Athletes

Annually the Maine Senior Games athletes, volunteers, and guests gather for the Maine Senior Games/Martin’s Point Celebration of Athletes.

During this event we acknowledge our Male and Female Athletes of the Year, our Volunteer of the Year, as well as the induction of the newest class to the Maine Senior Games Hall of Fame.

National Senior Games Personal Best Award

There’s a new definition of “personal best” that anyone can achieve. It’s not about a peak time or distance in sports. It’s about overcoming obstacles, surviving challenges, and staying motivated throughout your life. This results in greater longevity and a health, active lifestyle – and that is your Personal Best!

In 2014, Maine athlete, Jerry LeVasseur was selected as a Personal Best Athlete. Jerry has overcome a tragedy in his youth and many challenges throughout his life. His outlook and positivity are an inspiration to us all. Congratulations Jerry! – read about Jerry LeVasseur more.
