POINT PLEASANT BEACH — The Manasquan Inlet Tug of War Committee has announced that the 2022 Manasquan Inlet Tug of War will return to both sides of the inlet on Saturday, Oct. 1.
Once again, the Make-a-Wish Foundation of New Jersey will take part in the event and each competing team will raise money for the organization. The main sponsor is Jersey Mike’s Subs.
This will be the fourth Manasquan Inlet Tug of War, pitting Manasquan and Point Pleasant Beach.
“We want the event to raise a ton of money — we want it to be bigger and better than ever but we also want Point Pleasant Beach to take home the trophy,” said Mayor Paul Kanitra.
Manasquan won two of the first three competitions including the 2021 edition, which came down to the final heat.
“Councilman Vitale and the Recreation Committee know how much our loss last year has stung me personally,” said the mayor, adding, “We’re gonna be working really hard on that over the next couple of months.”
