The return of the NY State Empire Games has been delayed until 2014. The return of this popular multi-sport event including Open, Scholastic and Masters’ competition in Track & Field and Road Racing was originally slated to return in 2013 hosted by the Rochester Area. Instead, the planners have moved back the return to the summer of 2014 due to budgetary constraints.
