About the Race
Grab your strongest friends and team up for the ultimate tug of war challenge! Teams of 6 will compete for time as they pull a fully loaded 20-ton fire truck down Academy Street in downtown Newark. Prizes will be awarded to the fastest all male, all female and co-ed teams. All proceeds benefit Aetna Hose, Hook & Ladder Company, a fire and EMS company that’s served the greater Newark community for 135 years. They’ve had our backs for decades -- now it’s time for us to return the favor.

Common questions
How hard is the Fire Truck Pull & Family Fun Day Other?
We don't have a verified elevation profile yet — check the organizer's course map for the climb breakdown.
What should I wear?
Dress for ~10°F warmer than the standing temperature once you start running. Throwaway long-sleeve at the start, gloves and a hat for sub-50°F mornings, singlet plus visor when it climbs above 60°F. The race-day forecast above is the source of truth closer to the date.
When does it sell out?
No published deadline. Most races raise the entry fee in tiers and can sell out without warning — sign up early if you're committed.
