Centenary Sports Carnival

Great Katherine Tug of War

From 1pm, 27 June 2026 – Katherine Sportsgrounds

The Katherine Town Council is calling for teams to enter the Great Katherine Tug of War as part of the Centenary Sports Day celebrations. This classic crowd-favourite is all about teamwork, timing, determination and community spirit.

Whether you’re representing a business, sporting club, school, community group or just a group of mates, this is your chance to battle it out for bragging rights in one of the most entertaining events of the day.

Teams can include between five and eight competitors, with competitions held across three age categories:

  • Under 12
  • 12 to 16 years
  • Adults (16+)

The competition will run in a round robin format from 1pm, giving teams multiple chances to test their strength, coordination and strategy against other local challengers, and be in the running for a bunch of cool prizes.

Get your team together and register your interest to be part of this fun centenary celebration of Katherine’s competitive spirit and love of sport.
