Introducing the Virtual Dulles Plane Pull

"Pull” with us from the comfort of your own home!

Each year, thousands of members of the greater Washington, D.C. area community gather at Dulles International Airport to participate in the annual Plane Pull competition to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics Virginia. With the pandemic causing unique challenges and the cancellation of all in person Special Olympics programming since March, including the in person Plane Pull in September, we need YOU to show our athletes that you are PULLING for them now more than ever.

That's why, we're going VIRTUAL. That's right, you can “pull” with us from the comfort of your own home for the first time! The event will occur virtually during the week of October 12. Join us for a fitness competition Monday - Friday then celebrate with us on Saturday, October 17, our Virtual Dulles Plane Pull day. Each team will be connected with a SOVA athlete coach to be motivated by and train unified with along the way and will have the opportunity to participate in three team contests!
