This is the 20th year that the event has been held in Columbus.

Volunteers from Fort Benning and all over came to help with the games. Some of the games included shot-put, long jump, and racing.

Daniel Lockart, the regional manager says that the athletes get a confidence boost when they participate in this event.

He says "I just had an athlete tell me he'd beat anybody out hree in running. So I mean they come out here and compete and jsut the joy on their face is why we come out here and volunteer."
