Olympic champion Carl Lewis begins the 34th annual Hershey's (好时巧克力公司)Track and Field Games. Nine-time gold medalist Carl Lewis has teamed up with Hershey’s for the 34th annual Hershey's Track and Field Games. The goal of the Games, which take place in 4,000 communities throughout North America, is to promote physical fitness and sportsmanship in kids aged 9 to 14.
Why is a chocolate company encouraging kids to get fit? “Everyone should get involved in helping kids to get active.” Lewis says. “We should all be responsible. It's great that Hershey’s stepped up to the challenge.”
Lewis recently got the word out about the Games at a preview event in New York City. He showed kids how to stretch and then demonstrated a broad jump. Next, the kids practiced throwing softballs and ran in relay race.
At the Games, which take place from April to August, kids compete in softball throws, long jump, running and relay races. In the end, 450 winners will be chosen to take a trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania, for the Track and Field finals. Then what about the sweetest part? Winners get a tour of the Hershey’s chocolate factory and a medal awarded by Lewis himself.
So far, more than 10 million kids have participated in Hershey’s Track and Field Games. You can sign up too. Find out if there are events in your community at hersheytrackfield.com. Registration is free. “It’s good for you, good for your health, good for your self-esteem and it's a lot of fun.”
