Sunday will see the next Longevity Games held at Moredon Sporting Hub.
The Games is a fitness initiative helping people of all ages and abilities to maintain their health and functional strength as they grow older.
It focuses on promoting healthy aging and building a strong, supportive community through a variety of challenging activities.
Participants test themselves across functional movements and exercises, competing within their ability level.
Founder Tim Howe said: "This isn't just about fitness - it's about giving people the confidence to move more, connect more and live longer, healthier lives."
The Games are supported by a roster of councillors from across the political spectrum, including Swindon Borough Council Leader Cllr Jim Robbins and others including Junab Ali, Stanka. Adamcova, Leon Grother, Jim Robbins, Mike Davies, Suresha Gattapur, Daniel Adams, Cherie Adams, Jake Chandler, Leigh Jackson, Paul Park and Jamal Miah.
Mr Howe praised them for leading by example and added: "This support from councillors across Swindon has been incredible.
"This is real cross-party action, sending a message that we're all in this together when it comes to helping Swindon age well."
Sunday's Games will also feature a special guest appearance by Gladiator semi-finalist Joe Holroyd.
Places are available at the following Longevity Games, which will be held at Swindon Athletic Track, adjacent to the County Ground, on 14 September.
