JERSEY SHORE, NJ – August 16, 2023 – The highly anticipated Manasquan Inlet Tug of War event, proudly presented by Jersey Mike’s, is set to make its triumphant return to the picturesque Inlet on Sunday, October 8th. This year’s event promises an exhilarating display of competitive spirit as nine teams engage in intense tugs of war, pitting the strengths of Manasquan against Point Pleasant Beach, spanning the expanse of the 450-foot wide Manasquan Inlet. The occasion will be accompanied by two immersive festivals and lively after-parties, offering a complete day of enjoyment for participants and spectators alike.

Elevating the excitement to new heights, the 2023 event welcomes 95.9 WRAT, a prominent radio station under Beasley Media Group, as its esteemed media partner. This partnership aims to enhance the event’s reach and engagement, delivering an unforgettable experience to audiences across the region.

True to its commitment to the community’s welfare, the Manasquan Inlet Tug of War event continues to champion noble causes. All proceeds generated from the event will be dedicated to bolstering the recreation departments of both Manasquan and Point Pleasant Beach, reinforcing their vital roles in promoting community engagement and wellbeing.

Geoff Brown, the event chairman, remarked, “Our journey over the past few years has been marked by remarkable achievements, and we’ve tirelessly worked for months to ensure that this year’s edition stands as a pinnacle of excellence.”

In a groundbreaking shift, individuals now have the opportunity to directly register for participation in any of the nine electrifying heats.
