Help Children be Active for Life

RunJumpThrow is a crucial part of USATF’s evolution to help improve the lives of young people, regardless of whether or not they are competitive athletes. In the RJT curriculum, you will find activities ranging from warming up and walking to advanced hurdle and jumping activities. While all these activities meet SHAPE America standards, the most important part of RunJumpThrow is that kids have fun moving their bodies.

Getting active is the first step toward getting fit. By focusing on the activity and taking joy in movement, RJT helps instill a love of movement in children and to provide a starting point for what we hope will be a lifetime of healthy, physical activity.

One of the cornerstones of Hershey’s commitment in the development of youth has been the partnership with USATF. The RunJumpThrow program expands access to the sport of track and field for kids ages 7-12. Hershey values programs that provide opportunities for kids to learn by doing and the RJT program is an innovative way to extend their values around the long-standing commitment to introduce kids to basic running, jumping and throwing skills for a lifetime of activity.
