๐ WHAT IS THE 2026 FIRE TRUCK PULL CHALLENGE? ๐
Think of the ultimate tug-of-war but with a fully loaded FIRE TRUCK! ๐ฅ๐ช
On Saturday, September 26, 2026, teams will take over Ballard Field in Marion to see who has the strength, teamwork, and determination to pull a fire truck 50 feet!
๐ช HOW IT WORKS
Teams can have up to 10 people and must raise or donate at least $500 per team to compete.
Think your team has what it takes? There are several ways to WIN:
โฑ๏ธ Fastest Team Pull: Race against the clock to pull the truck 50 feet. Each team gets three attempts, and the fastest time wins!
โ๏ธ Lowest Combined Weight Pull: Start with just one or two teammates and keep adding people until you can pull the truck 50 feet. The team that gets it done with the lowest combined weight wins!
๐ AWARDS
๐ฅ Fastest Pull โ 1st, 2nd & 3rd
โ๏ธ Lowest Combined Weight Pull
โค๏ธ Top Team Fundraiser
But this challenge is about much more than bragging rights.
โค๏ธ PULL FOR A PURPOSE
Proceeds benefit Special Olympics Indiana โ Grant County, supporting athletes with intellectual disabilities as they train and compete in Olympic-type sports at the local and state levels.
Pull together. Compete together. Make a difference together.
