The spookiest thing this Halloweek? That some of you still aren't signed up for ABLE Games 2026! 👻😉

Competition calling your name? Just love fitnessing with friends? Well, this is your sign! Today is THE day to register at ablegames.org

Want to lend a helping hand instead? Whether its an hour, an afternoon, or the whole day — your help makes a difference.

We're still looking for volunteer help with:

🎃 Thursday load-in
🎃 Friday and/or Saturday equipment setup
🎃 Friday and/or Saturday judging
🎃 Saturday load-out
🎃 Athlete relations

Either way you choose, we'd love to have you.

What if competition didn’t leave people out, but helped everyone discover what they’re capable of?

Our co-founder Connor McGovern shares that idea in his TEDx Fargo talk, from the first ABLE Games to ABLE in School.

Not quite sure if this is for you? Long-time ABLE Games competitor Ray Grefsheim would disagree!

“Fitness is for everyone,” he reminds us.

Ray has competed at ABLE Games for the past three years, including alongside his son! And what he wants you to know? That “ABLE Games brings people together, regardless of ability level, and celebrates what everyone can do."

"ABLE Games demonstrates the power of inclusion. Everyone has an opportunity to participate, compete, and succeed. If you’ve ever thought, ‘I’m not sure I’m fit enough,’ or ‘I’m not competitive enough,’ ABLE Games is exactly the place to challenge those assumptions. You’ll find encouragement every step of the way.

Compete alongside people of all abilities, learn from their resilience, and experience firsthand what true inclusion looks like."
