About The Hershey's Track & Field Games Program

Hershey's Track & Field Program was created over 30 years ago to promote youth physical fitness and provide fun learning experiences for children 9 to 14 years old. Youth track & field is a great way to get kids started in a physical fitness program.

It's the largest youth sports program of its kind in the United States and Canada. Track & field meets take place in every state and every province in North America. Hundreds of athletes make it to the grand finale — the North American Final in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Join us as we help kids discover their potential, make new friends, and gain newfound self confidence. Every child is a winner with the Hershey's Track & Field Games!

To Participate In The Meet

You don't need to be star athletes to participate in track & field…you just need to have fun!

Get ready for an awesome time! If you're between 9 and 14 years old and love to run, jump, and throw, sign up now for the Hershey's Track & Field Games.

Each youth track & field meet offers running events like the 50 Meter Dash and the 800 Meter Run, plus field events like the Softball Throw and the Long Jump. There are plenty of choices, and it doesn't matter how fast you can run or how far you can jump or throw — everyone's a winner!

Some will even get the chance to go on to the North American Final track & field meet held in Hershey, Pennsylvania! Did we mention that the trip to Hershey is totally free?

There's still time to register for the Gresham event -- but you must hurry! Contact Rich Ekman, Coordinator, by email to rich@bendparksandrec.org, or phone 541-389-7275.
