More than 30 teams from local companies and organizations are expected to participate in The Big Brown Truck Pull for Special Olympics when it returns to Historic Downtown Paducah on Saturday, August 2.

The event features teams in three divisions, competing to see who can pull a loaded UPS 18-Wheeler 12 feet in the fastest time. The opening ceremony will take place at 6:00 pm, and the first pull will be at  6:30.

Teams are limited to 15 pullers, and can be made up of friends, family members or coworkers. Many teams that participate in the Big Brown Truck Pull come from companies and other community organizations, but they could just as easily be any 15 friends or neighbors. Pullers raise a minimum of $50 (or $750 per team) to compete.

Prizes will be awarded for the fastest pull time in men’s, women’s and co-ed (minimum of six women) divisions as well as to the team that shows the most team spirit. Additional prizes will be awarded to the top fundraising team and the top individual male and female fundraisers, who will get special Big Brown Truck Pull jackets. There will also be an award for the top fundraising Special Olympics athlete participant.

All participants receive the official Big Brown Truck Pull T-shirt, but teams who raise more money can earn prizes including water bottles, hats, donut parties and hoodies. One lucky competitor will receive a $500 Best Buy Gift Card.

Proceeds from the event go to benefit Special Olympics athletes in Western Kentucky and throughout the state.
