Dave's Gym's Strongest Man 2023

After the huge success of the competition last year, I’ve decided to run it again! The comp will run much the same as last year with Women’s, Men’s First Timer, and Men’s Beginner categories. Spaces are limited to 30 total competitors. Please enter the category that best suits your abilities, don’t be a glory hunter and spoil the comp for others. If you won your category last year you cannot re-enter in the same category, you must go up to the next level. If we think you’ve entered the wrong category, we may ask you to move or simply refund your entry. Entry fee is £35 per athlete, with a free Dave’s Gym Strongman T-shirt. Spectators are £1 entry, with refreshments provided.
