2011 is the 15th Anniversary of the New Jersey Law Enforcement Plane Pull.
We hope that all PAST PARTICIPANTS can join us to celebrate!

Each team has a captain and will compete in three ways:
Fastest Pull
Team to pull the aircraft 12 feet in the least amount of time wins

Lowest Combined Weight Pull
Team with the lowest team weight to pull the aircraft 12 feet in the least amount of time (two-minute limit) wins

Top Fundraiser
Teams are encouraged to raise as much money as possible prior to the event.

The top three teams will be honored in post-event ceremonies.
All proceeds collected by Plane Pull teams benefit Special Olympics New Jersey athletes and help foster the Special Olympics New Jersey mission:
To provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

United Plane Pull was first introduced in 1997. The success of this event has helped more than 21,000 athletes train and compete free of charge, year-round in 24 Olympic-type sports.

Absolutely. Kohler and I were talking about this a few months ago.

Good possibility I would go pull a plane, well try at least.

Would also be down.

in. the tough mudder isnt really my thing, so im complelty down for this !


how much $ ?

I dont think theres an entry fee, you just raise money to donate.



I would love to do this event as well as the tough mudder, but not sure if I'll be fully recovered from surgery by then.

you and me can stand on the side yelling mush through megaphones :)

juss read on the site its a minimum $1000 donation per team to pull. i think i read it correctly ?

Yup. No entry fee, just raise money for charity. For a team of 20 we need to raise $50 a head.

yea, a Team minimum donation of 1,000 isnt bad, my friend raised over 300 for his Polar bear plunge, and that was just him, times that by a team 20 people... thats like $6,000.


yea, id still definitely be there to encourage everyone else and tell them how i could have done it better, lol.

Def in, much better than running 9 miles and perfect reason to bulk to 242.

I'd love to pull a plane. South has some seriously big dudes, I think Ron and I could handle it alone.

i think wed be better off combinding rather than North Vs. South Vs. Kohler

+1 let's do what ever raises the most money

^ credit to team.

Someone gonna make an official team or has it already been done?

Motivation to finally build my sled.:nod:

I don't think you can register yet. When you can I'm going to set one up.

I'm down if you guys want me and can grab some bigger guys

This is a charity pull so I don't think we are being exclusive. If we were competitive it would be different.

You got a few months, ditch the starving marvin look and eat more. :nod:

Start eating lead

Believe it or not but I've lost over 15lbs in the last 2.5 months from being sick/not being able to go to the gym. And even as of last Tough Mudder, I was down 10 lbs on top of that. I gotta gain my weight back!

I'd be in for this
