Dorset Plane Pull 2026

Plane Pull 2026 Coach House Fitness is taking on the Dorset Plane Pull 2026! On Monday 31st August , we're swapping barbells for a Boeing 737 as the Coach House Fitness team takes on one of Dorset's most unique fundraising challenges! We'll be joining forces to pull a Boeing 737 a full 50 metres to raise money for the incredible Dorset Cancer Care Foundation , helping local people and families affected by cancer when they need it most. This isn't about being the strongest—it's about pulling together for a fantastic local cause. If you'd like to support us, we'd really appreciate a donation, no matter how big or small. Every pound goes towards helping local families across Dorset. If you're a Coach House member and fancy being part of the team on the day, let me know—we'd love to have you involved! We'll be sharing plenty of training updates (and probably a few aching legs afterwards! ) Please donate if you can. Share this post. Let's show what the Coach House Fitness community can do when we pull together. https://www.justgiving.com/page/coach-house-fitness-planepull?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL #CoachHouseFitness #DorsetPlanePull #DorsetCancerCareFoundation #PullingTogether #Community #Fundraiser #TeamCHF

More about Whitefield

Dorset, England

Whitefield sits quietly in Dorset and punches well above its weight for things to do on a weeknight. The town hall has been putting on gigs for years, there's usually a craft fair within walking distance, and the local library runs sessions that toddlers go absolutely feral for. Not bad for a Tuesday. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.
