Salisbury, Md. – Do you want to go the distance, learn new activities, make new friends and come out on top no matter what place you take? You're on the right track! Welcome to HERSHEY'S Track & Field Games.

Every HERSHEY'S Track & Field Games meet offers running events, like the 50-meter dash and the 800-meter run and field events, like the softball throw and the standing long jump. And that's just for starters. If you work hard enough and qualify in your events, you'll get the chance to compete at the North American Final in Hershey, Pennsylvania. P.S. The trip to Hershey is totally FREE and you get to do a lot of cool things like go to Hersheypark, visit HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE WORLD Attraction and tour HERSHEY'S state of the art chocolate factory.

If you're between 9 and 14 years old and everything we said sounds pretty cool, mark your calendars for the HERSHEY'S Track & Field Games in Wicomico County! The games will take place at Wicomico County Stadium (Glen & Civic Avenue) on Thursday, June 19. (Rain date Friday, June 20.) Registration will take place on-site from 5-5:45 p.m., event begins at 6 p.m. Participants must be Maryland residents. Please bring proof of age.
