On your mark, get set, have fun!
For 30 years, Hershey's Track & Field Games have put
fun into
fitness for kids. No wonder it's the largest youth sports program of
its kind in North America. Each meet includes basic running, jumping
and throwing events designed to make every player feel like a winner.
If you are a young person between 9 and 14 who wants to have
fun
outdoors, or if you're a parent trying to encourage healthy habits,
these Games were made for you.
Are you between 9 and 14 years
old?
Do you like to hang out
with other kids?
Do you like to run and
jump and throw?
Yes? Then you should sign up for the Hershey's Track & Field Games to be held in Oromocto on June 15th. This meet offers running events like the 50 Meter Dash and the 800 Meter Run, plus field events like the Softball Throw and the Standing Long Jump. There are plenty of choices, and it does not matter how fast you can run or how far you can jump or throw — everyone's a winner!
Some participants will even get the chance to go on to the North American Final Meet held in Hershey, Pennsylvania. In case you didn't know, that's the Home of Hershey's Chocolate! In 2006, 3 athletes from the Oromocto Meet were selected to compete in North American finals.
