Health & Wellness

We want to make sure you’re competing at your best!

Not competing, but want to go through Healthy Athletes?
All athletes are welcome to attend Healthy Athletes whether or not they are competing! If you are not competing but want to go through a screening, stop by the Healthy Athlete Info tent and pick up your passport to get started.
