After 37 years, Hershey is no longer supporting the local and state track meet concept. However, the Live Healthy Iowa Kids Track Championships will continue the tradition of the Hershey’s Track and Field Games in Iowa.
The Live Healthy Iowa Kids Track Championships are free, statewide track meets for kids aged 9-14. Local meet winners qualify for the state championships in Marshalltown on June 13.
Partnering with parks and recreation departments and school districts, local meets are hosted in April and May. The state championship is hosted by the Marshalltown Parks and Recreation.
