**2026 event is cancelled** 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.
