Join us on Saturday, August 24th for the Smile Generation Denver Plane Pull presented by United Airlines.

A LAW ENFORCEMENT TORCH RUN EVENT

Hosted by Denver International Airport and Signature Aviation, the Plane Pull is a summer event unlike any other!

How it Works: Teams of 25 people will pull a United Airlines plane 12 feet across the tarmac competing for the fastest time! If you don't have 25 people on your team, that's ok we've got you!
