IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING

1) What exactly is a plane pull? How does this work?

A plane pull is a team competition where teams of 10 compete to pull a real Alaska Airlines plane 20 feet in the shortest amount of time. Similar to a tug-of-war, teams will use a rope to pull a plane from a stopped position to a marker 20 feet ahead.  Teams will compete by category as well as overall.


2) Who can participate?

Anyone can participate. Form a team of family members, friends, coworkers, gym buddies of all ages and abilities. First and foremost, this is an opportunity to have fun while supporting Alpha Resource Center. Of course, you can also compete for prizes and bragging rights. 


3) Should I be concerned about safety?

No, this will be a safe event in every way. The plane will have a pilot in the cockpit making sure the plane stops after it reaches the marker.


4) I'm in! How do I register my team?
