Hershey's Track and Field Games

The Hershey’s Track and Field North American Finals announces a date change; the event will take place July 31 – August 3, 2008 in Hershey Pennsylvania.   

Organizing a local track meet is fun, easy, and can have a lasting impact on a young person’s life. Implementing a track meet allows youth ages 9-14 an opportunity to engage in a fun, energetic, challenging physical fitness program and qualify for an all expense paid trip to the Hershey’s North American Finals held each summer in Hershey PA.

This teaching tool combines more than 30 years of experience from HERSHEY’S Track & Field Games with the insights of track & field stars and legends like Rafer Johnson, Bruce Jenner, Carl Lewis, Monique Henderson and Sanya Richards.

This is great tool to expand the physical education curricula at the middle school level. It can also serve as the foundation for sessions at day camps, parks and recreation programs as well as track & field clubs.
