What competitive sports or competitions can women enter after the age of 35?
June 8th, 2008 | by |StartingOver asked:
Most sports and/or competitions require that you begin young. Gymnastics, dance, ect are a few. However, are there any sports that women can begin over the age of 35, and still compete? I’m open to any and all possible competitions. Something physical and competitive.
NOTE: I’m looking for sports/competitions that I could START after the age of 35, without ANY experience, and eventually reach competition level.

The competition can be very grueling but also it can be strictly competing against yourself and your previous best part is the other competitors once you get very.

Definitely running. In the chicago-land area there is a race (amateur) every weekend 9 months throughout the year. Take a look at or. I use.
You don’t need to be any good to do these races. They are part social event and part competition. It all depends how competitive you are. I’ve seen people walk the races, but most people bust their hump to get a good time.
To see what sort of times you should expect the competition to have, take a look at chicagoaa’s results page and gauge your time against other women.
There are also some swim meets and bike events too but 90% of the activities tend to be running.
