40 days on the rope. On day 41, we walk into Cape Town together.
A Nation, On One Rope
The Bigg Pull is a purpose-led national initiative designed to unite people around what we share, not what divides us. A team of strength athletes hauls a truck the length of the country, from Pretoria to Cape Town, testing the limits of body, mind and spirit.
It began in 2003. In 2026 it returns, reimagined for a live audience and a new generation of South Africans ready to pull together.

We're Going For The Record
The Bigg Pull isn't just a journey, it's an official Guinness World Record attempt. Every kilometre from Centurion to the Western Cape is measured and logged by category, so the record stands up to scrutiny.
Control
On the downhills the truck is controlled for the safety of the Power Team, every controlled metre is measured and logged.
Assisted
On the uphills and through the mountains, all 20 of the Power Team pull together, the assisted distance is logged.
Free Pull
On the flat, 5 to 20 of the team pull unassisted, this free-pull distance is what stands for the world record.
For the Guinness World Record application, every kilometre is logged by category, controlled, assisted and free pull. It was done and tested 23 years ago, now we're back, bigger, better, and going for the record.
