John Brookfield and Reverend Jon Bruney broke the world record in one-mile pull with a harness this past weekend.

John Brookfield reported that this pull took place in Manning, South Carolina on Saturday, May 14, during a community outreach weekend which included a Relay for Life event (where people run/walk to raise money for cancer).

John Brookfield and Rev. Jon Bruney pulled a semi truck weighing over 20,000 lb. exactly one mile in 1 hour 13 minutes, which John said is a world record. It was hot - about 90 degrees and very humid. The course, through the downtown area, was 50% flat and 50% slightly uphill so it was a "very hard pull" according to John, but "we used the harnesses the whole way and never broke out the ropes."
