The Annual Sports Day Games

It's what St Helena Sports Day is all about - a fun and competitive series of games for all. It's been a staple of our big Saint weekend for 40 years. Participate in popular events such as the flat race, the egg and spoon as well as the tug of war. 

As we are celebrating 40 years of St Helena Sports Day anyone who finishes in 1st place will receive a very special trophy, The Owen George Cup, in tribute to our late founder.
