NAWL 2025 Big Mak Strength Qualifier

We are back for our third year and have continued to listen to your feedback to bring the best experience possible. We have adjusted our categories around a little and have included a Masters 40+ category to futher expand a way of providing a route into strongwoman for amateur athletes in competitions created with female competitors in mind.

Beginners - This class is aimed at athletes who have been training for no more than a year, within any strength sport.

Amateurs One - This is for athletes who have been competing within strength sports for longer then a year or who competed in "first-timers/beginners" competitions previously.

Amateurs Two - This is for athletes who have previously competed in Novice or have been regulary competing within strength sports.

Experienced - For athletes who have podiumed in a novice category previously and looking to challange themselves and step up.

Masters 40+ Strictly for athletes over the age of 40.

4 Qualifiers will be taking place with the top 4 from each category going forward to the final to be held later in the year. We also have a guest place for the winners of Spartans Strongest Woman. If a qualified athlete is unable to accept their place roll down spots will be offered from that qualifier.
