The USA Track & Field team is taking a long jump with the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.

The two announced a long-term partnership to bring a new experience to the Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience.

The Hershey/USATF RunJumpThrow Experience is being permanently added to the 7.5-acre outdoor sports park to get kids excited about physical activity.

It will offer an opportunity for families to learn new skills and have fun running, jumping, and throwing. Visitors will be able to run a 50-meter dash and compare their times to USATF legend Wilma Rudolph. Plus, they’ll also have space to sprint down the runway, leap into a long jump pit, and step into the ring and throw a shot put.

The experience is now open to the public and is included with museum general admission. Pro tip: Save up to 25% by when you buy your tickets at least two weeks in advance.
