History
The notion of a Masters Games Series was first suggested by the Australian Sports Commission in the early 1980s. The concept spurned the World Masters in Toronto in 1985 as well as the Alice Springs Masters in 1986.
Since then a myriad Masters events have provided the world’s mature-age athletes with opportunities to come together to share physical competition with social activity and fun.
