2010 Gold Coast Pacific Masters Games

There are only 41 weeks to go until the 7th Pan Pacific Masters Games to be held from 6 to 14 November on the beautiful Gold Coast. There will be 33 sports on the program, with more than 10,000 people from all over the world expected to participate. The Pan Pacific Masters Games is a celebration of master’s sport with both fierce and friendly competition and a jam-packed entertainment program at the Games Village at the end of each day. The slogan sums it up - “Play it, Live it, Love it!” Participants at the Pan Pacs, as the Games are affectionately known, compete in their age group with no qualifying standards to enter. The only criteria for entry is a minimum age for each sport – and for most sports that is 30 years of age.
