In October, it&#8217;s back to bowling, which the majority of DHR athletes participate in. During golf each year, several athletes compete in 9-hole alternate play, each with a Unified (non-Special Olympics athlete) golf partner. There have also been special kayaking events held in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on upcoming Special Olympics events, check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sotx.org\/area-home?area=2311816\">Area 13 SOTX webpage<\/a>.
