NEW THIS YEAR: $1,000 FUNDRAISING GOAL
We’re going bigger and better in 2023! Due to a larger plane being used, fundraising amounts have increased. This year, teams will need to raise a total of $1,000 in order to compete in the Plane Pull.
Team sizes will remain as five-person teams!
What’s a Plane Pull?
The Plane Pull® is a unique team building activity for groups. It requires participants to come together as a team to achieve a very daunting task — pull an airplane 25 feet! Teams of five will compete to see who can pull a plane the fastest. Participants must be at least 16 years old to compete. Teams must raise a minimum of $1,000 total by the event date.
Please note that in the case of event cancellation due to inclement weather or other reasons, no refund will be provided.
HOW?
Teams will compete to see who can pull a plane 25 feet the fastest!
Teams will be assigned and scheduled for their first pull time on the event date. The first pull will take place at 9 a.m.
Team captains are encouraged to contact lmoyar@sonc.net to schedule their time block once their team reaches the $1,000 fundraising goal.
Each registered team competes for the top 15 times in their division.
The top 15 teams in each division will then compete for the top five best times within their division.
