“A quality recreation and school program where children have fun and are introduced to physical fitness through basic track and field events such as running, jumping and throwing.”

For the last 36 years, the Hershey Company has provided this program for youth. Sign up to host your own local track event where your first place winners advance to the Ohio Hershey Track & Field event being held on Saturday, June 28, 2014 at Reynoldsburg High School. The meet is for boys and girls ages 9-14 (As of December 31, 2014). The easy steps to host your own meet are to secure a place for your meet, contact your state chair, access our online website and login to event manager at www.hersheystrackandfield.com and register!

Every summer we take a minimum of five athletes on a free, all expense trip to Hershey, PA for the 2014 North American Finals! Under resources on the homepage, is a Reference Material link to provide you with various materials to help in planning your meet. The meets can be held for recreation departments, schools and track clubs. For more information please contact Ohio State Chair Teresa Featherstone at tafeatherstone@columbus.gov.
