“The Iowa Games has grown tremendously over the years and we’re excited to announce that the 2015 Games will include 63 sports,” Chuck Long, CEO and Executive Director of the Iowa Sports Foundation, said. “With so many sports and their respective events to choose from, we invite athletes of all ages and abilities from across our great state to check out what we have to offer and join us for this year’s event. There’s something for everyone!”
