Tug O War World Champs

My old high school still does tug of wars to this day. It's the entire high school, typically about 150 vs 150 (maybe more now), and it's done over a river. It's a BFD at the school and the culmination of year-long intramural academic and athletic competitions between the two societies. I was a scrawny nerd, so I contributed very little to our victories, but my team, the Platos, won all four years I was in high school.
