Special Olympics Ohio is a nonprofit organization focused on fostering inclusion in the state through sport, health education, and leadership development for people with intellectual disabilities. It offers year-round sports training and competition to about 20,000 athletes across Ohio, enabling participants to build physical fitness, exhibit courage, and experience a sense of belonging in a supportive community. The group is based in Westerville, Ohio. Its programs target individuals with intellectual disabilities and aim to remove barriers to participation by combining athletics with health and leadership opportunities. In early 2025, Special Olympics Ohio hosted the Outdoor Winter Games at Snow Trails in Mansfield, continuing the state's tradition of this event.
