Second Harvest Truck Pull Challenge

Get ready for a serious display of strength and community spirit at Nathan Phillips Square. The Second Harvest Truck Pull Challenge is back on May 13, 2026, and it’s turning downtown Toronto into an arena of high-energy competition. Teams of 10 will go head-to-head to pull a massive 20,000-pound delivery truck across the square in the fastest time possible.

More Than Just a Pull While the main event is the truck pull itself, the day is packed with plenty of other reasons to drop by. The event features on-site activations, including a fresh produce market and a refreshment garden, making it a great spot to hang out in the heart of the city. Whether you're there to cheer on a team or just soak up the atmosphere, it's a fantastic way to support food rescue efforts across Canada.

Why It Matters This isn't just about bragging rights. Last year, the challenge raised enough to provide over 588,000 meals for Canadians in need. By participating or attending, you're directly contributing to Second Harvest's mission to tackle food insecurity.

Practical Info The event runs from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM at Nathan Phillips Square. It’s easily accessible by transit, located right at the corner of Queen and Bay. Before or after the pull, you're perfectly positioned to explore the nearby Eaton Centre or grab a bite in the Financial District.
