Hulls Strongest Spring Showdown 2027

Back for 2027 is our first competition of the year with a slightly different format then usual. This year we are trialling the "Class" system instead of the traditional, Beginners/Novice/Inters etc, our hope is this will give you more opportunities to compete at weights that are suitable for you and develop more experience. To that end look at the weights for each class and be honest with yourself, choose the class that suits your abilities (or even better push yourself). During this trial year please however do take note of the following restrictions.
Mens Class 3 - Athletes weighing under 110kg
Womens Class 3 - Athletes weighing under 85kg

Weigh in will be on the day, Check the event weights and choose your category accordingly.
