Pan Am Masters Games 2024 Cleveland

(by Steve Hopkins, photos Pan Am Masters Games)

The 2024 Pan Am Masters Games will be hosted in Cleveland this year, and Butterfly will be there.  Butterfly and Bowmar Sports will be the sponsors for this huge, Olympic-style event that will include twelve age categories (starting at age 30 and increasing up to 80+) across a range of singles, doubles, and mixed doubles events.  Para athletes are also invited to compete in the same age divisions – competing against all other athletes.

The Games will be held from July 12-21.  The venue is the Cleveland Public Auditorium in the heart of downtown – a 220,000 square foot event space known for cultural, art, and sports events.  Nearby hotels include Aloft, Marriott, Comfort Inn, Crowne Plaza, Drury Plaza, and Doubletree.

The Pan American Masters Games were first organized in Vancouver in 2016.  These Games are organized by the International Masters Games Association, which hosts regional “masters” (or seniors) events and has hosted a World Masters Games since 1985.  The World Masters Games has grown to include more than three times as many athletes as the Olympic Games making it the world’s largest international participatory multi-sport event.

Bowmar Sports is a natural partner of the Pan American Masters Games, as Bowmar has helped bring Butterfly sponsorship to events not just in the United States but also in Canada, Puerto Rico, and throughout this Hemisphere in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America.  Next month, as an example, Bowmar Sports will be supporting the 2024 Butterfly Puerto Rico Open, another international event bringing table tennis athletes together from throughout this Hemisphere.

Join thousands of athletes from around the world as senior athletes compete in 26 medal-contending sports from table tennis to cycling to basketball to track and field.  A full sports program for the Pan Am Masters is available here.  We look forward to seeing you in Cleveland this Summer.
