HERSHEY’S Track & Field Games is the largest youth activity program of its kind in North America. It provides children ages 9-14 with an entry point to sport and recreation through running, jumping and throwing.  Debi Pillarella, a local certified American Council on Exercise (ACE) trainer, will lead all attendees in a family-friendly dance activity called the Moderation Nation Batuka Dance at the HERSHEY’S Track & Field Games. Participants can also take part in nutrition education with a registered dietitian.
