APG Holding Olympic Sports Day Thursday

There won't be any active Olympians on Thursday.

But there will be competitors, a lot of fun and a trophy to play for.

Aberdeen Proving Ground will hold a post-wide Olympic Sports Day Thursday, starting with 8 a.m. opening ceremonies.

In an email to , APG Acting Chief of Public Affairs Adriane Foss wrote: "It is a day set aside for APG troops and civilians, along with their Family members, to get out of their offices and homes to participate in fun, healthy competition. This is our inaugural event and should be well attended. The goal is to build camaraderie and to simply enjoy ourselves."

Military and civilian personnel—as individuals and teams—will compete in events, including kickball, bowling, flag football, volleyball, basketball, golf, softball and relay races, Foss said.

She added that there will be family-friendly events, as well, including tug-of-war, a dunk tank, cards, Wii bowling, dominoes, billiards, ping pong, swimming, arcade games and bounce houses. There will be K-9 demonstrations, too.

Awards will be presented to individuals and groups at a 3:15 p.m. closing ceremony, during which the Commander's Cup will be presented.
