HIGHLAND GAMES
Tug O’ War
Tug O’ War is an age-old tradition at any Highland Games and has become a major crowd-pleaser at the Hororata Highland Games. The Signature Homes Tug O’ War sees an intense battle of strength, teamwork, and sheer willpower play out. Teams of six compete throughout the day in heats, working towards reaching the final TUG! The crowd passionately and loudly supports each team as they work to pull the opposing team across the line.
