The western Oregon community, located west of Interstate 5 between Salem and Eugene, is known for its craft breweries, distilleries, and wineries; family-friendly fairs, festivals, and football played at Oregon State University; and outdoor recreation including hiking, birdwatching, and cycling on roads and mountain trails.

The Oregon Senior Games will be one of more than 50 state games and associated events where athletes ages 50 or better can compete to qualify for the 2021 National Senior Games as well as for medals, awards, and personal bests.
