The annual Our Towne Truck Pull is going on in downtown South Bend today outside of the College Football Hall of the Fame.

The test of strength benefits education programs at South Bend schools.

Teams of 20 people have to pull a semi truck with its 53-foot trailer at the end of a rope and haul it at least 12 feet to the finish line.

At least 800 people were expected to take part in Saturday's event.

NewsCenter 16's own Tricia Sloma is serving as emcee.
