The Haynes Farm Open 2026 Returns for it's 6th year - organised by Paddy Haynes t/a Haynes Strength.

The Haynes Farm Open returns for it's 6th year.

This year we have gone deliberately earlier in the season, to try and dodge World's Strongest Man, which sadly clashed last year meaning we had to rearrange the date. This year we've gone for the last weekend in March. If for some reason the comp does need to be moved, which is highly unlikely, the ALTERNATE DATES will be 24-25/04/2027.

For those that are new here, the Haynes Farm Open is my true passion project. A 5-event competition spanning 10 different classes across the weekend, all with an old-school farming theme. Last year we put on our biggest show to date with just under 120 athletes, this year we aim to beat that. Anyway, enough waffle, lets get into it...

THE EVENTS
1. The Cambridge Deadlift LADDER - Sponsored by Mirafit.

A new twist on a staple event. The Cambridge deadlift is a 12" axle deadlift set up. This time, athletes will face 4-5 bars, ascending in weight. The fastest time to deadlift all bars will win.

All straps are allowed for this event, but thumbs must be touching the bar at all times, and strictly NO DROPPING THE WEIGHTS.

2. Viking Press for Reps - Sponsor Pending.

Athletes will be tasked with pressing a fixed weight for as many repetitions as possible. This viking press set up is going to look insane. Weights TBC for this one following some more testing, but for those that competed in 2024, it'll be a similar weight. As soon as the athlete drops the apparatus, it will be the end of their turn.

3. Keg Toss FOR MAX - Sponsored by Advent Tools

This years MAX event will be the keg toss. Athletes will have 60s, to launch the heaviest keg over the bar as possible, kegs will range from c10KG all the way up to 34KG.

Men's Bar Height will be 4m. Women's Bar Height will start at 2.5m (Novice) and go up to 3.5m (Opens)

(Events 2 & 3 will be run simultaneously)

4. Mystery Event - Sponsored by Haynes Strength

You know the drill by now. No spoilers xoxo

5. Stone over Bar for Reps - Sponsored by Spartan Atlas Stones

The best way to end a strongman competition. One stone to be lifted over a bar for as many reps as possible in 60s. Tacky and Sleeves allowed.

The categories we are offering this year are:

Saturday 27th March

Men's Novice (<105KG) // Men's Novice (>105KG) // Women's Novice (<75KG) // Women's Novice (>75KG)

Sunday 28th March
Men's Inters // Women's Inters // Men's Opens // Women's Opens // Men's Masters (40+) // Women's Masters (40+)

A few bits of housekeeping from me...
This is a comp ran by volunteers, by myself and Daisy - we're not a big team, we're just a passionate group who love putting on shows for you guys.

This year we are going to try and sort out a livestream for the whole show, we will have on-site medical team and physiotherapy courtesy of Williamson Chiropractic, Food & Drink, sponsor stalls and merchandise for sale.

Once again we will be raising money for Dogs for Good - any donations to this wonderful charity will be hugely appreciated and go a long way.
