Tradition is taking a fresh turn this year. Instead of the annual Plane Pull at Worldport, we’re holding the UPS Truck Pull presented by BrightSpring Health Services, at BrightSpring’s east end offices. The change of venue reflects UPS’ decades-long support of SOKY athletes and their inspiring achievements as well as the commitment to operational efficiency while continuing the .
Teams of 15 will take turns pulling a loaded UPS 18-wheeler 12 feet. The fastest pull times will win trophies in men’s, women’s and co-ed divisions. There are also awards for top fundraising team, top fundraising individuals, best team t-shirt and most team spirit.
