Airplane Tow 'N' Throw
Saturday, October 1, 2022Join us for the 2nd Annual Airplane Tow 'N' Throw, brought to you by United Way of Mesa County and the Greater Grand Junction Sports Commission.
WHAT: Get your team together and participate in the competition of the year to see who can "tow" a 100-ton Boeing 757 twenty feet the fastest! Test your "throw" skills in an epic cornhole competition, enjoy food trucks, a beer garden, and more! Each plane pull team will get at least two chances to pull the plane in a double elimination style competition.
WHEN: Saturday, October 1st 2022. Team pull times will be sent to the Team Captain a week prior to the event.
WHERE: The Grand Junction Regional Airport. Parking and shuttle details will be sent to the Team Captain a week prior to the event.
WHY: Proceeds from the Airplane Tow 'N' Throw benefit vital nonprofit programs right here in Mesa County. Click HERE to see a list of the programs your team entry fee will help support.
TEAM INFORMATION: Teams can consist of up to 22 people, but only 18 people can pull the plane during your designated pull times. Anyone can be on your team including employees, co-workers, family, friends, clients/customers, etc. Each team registration includes one cornhole competition team entry (2 people). Teams must register in advance no later than Monday, September 26.
All teams must have a designated Team Captain. A team roster with the full names of each team member will be due at least a week prior to the event. Team Captains are responsible for recruiting team members, paying the team entry fee, submitting a team roster, and making sure your team makes it to the event on time.
COSTUME CONTEST: We are encouraging all teams to wear your craziest, most creative costumes! A prize will be awarded to the team with the most original and hilarious getup.
