Created in 1975, the Hershey's Track and Field Games is the largest youth sports program of its kind in the United States and Canada. Meets take place in every state and every province in North America, and the grand finale, the North American Final Meet, takes place in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The goal of Hershey's Track and Field Games is to introduce children to physical fitness through basic events like running, jumping and throwing. But the program also strives to encourage children to reach their potential and develop a sense of accomplishment. For more information, click here to go to the Hershey Track and Field website.
The VRPA is proud to host the Vermont State Hershey Track Meet for boys and girls ages 9-14, in partnership with the Vermont State Hershey Coordinator, Mark Berry. Six Vermont athletes are chosen each year to participate in the national finals in Hershey, PA, on the basis of the results from the state meet.
The 2010 Vermont State Hershey Track Meet will be held on Saturday, July 10, 2010 at Essex High School. Any team or individual athlete intersted in competing in the 2010 Vermont Hershey Meet must submit a Commitment Form by June 25, 2010.
