THE EVENT
A one-day event with teams competing to pull a Case 5088 combine weighing 32,000 lbs. It's the ultimate tug-of-war challenge and a great team building event. Free admission.
THE CAUSE
All proceeds from the event go to support Special Olympics Indiana—Washington County, allowing athletes with intellectual disabilities to train and compete on a local and state level in 7 Olympic-type sports.
THE TEAMS
Each team will consist of a maximum of 15 people. All participants must sign a waiver of liability. Each team fundraises/donates at least $750 to compete. The team can raise money through hosting fundraisers, individual pledges, corporate or union sponsorships. Prizes are given for the top fundraising team and individual.
THE GREAT COMBINE PULL - FASTEST
Team members will line up on the rope attached to the combine. The official starter will signal when to start the pull. After the team pulls the combine 10 feet, or five (5) minutes has elapsed, the stopwatch will stop. Elapsed time will be recorded as the team score. The team that completes this task in the least amount of time wins the “Fastest Team Pull” trophy. Each team will receive three (3) attempts.
THE MULE TEAM CHALLENGE - LOWEST COMBINED WEIGHT
See how many teammates it takes to pull the combine! Start with one or two. Continue to add teammates until your team pulls the combine the distance of 5 feet, you’ve only got five minutes. At the end of your pull, the weight of those teammates pulling the truck will be added together. Each team receive one (1) attempt. The team pulling the fire truck with the least amount of team weight will claim the “Mule Team Challenge” trophy. Times are recorded in case of a tie.
