Berkshire's Strongest!
Berkshire's Strongest!
Taking place in the grounds of the beautiful Berkshire College of Agriculture, this years event promises to be bigger, better and more competitive than ever before!
With the addition of Womens Open Athletes we are really excited to showcase just how much the sport of Strongman has grown and encourage more incredible athletes to take up the challenge.
With Giant's Live referees Rob Frampton and Katie Smith at the helm once more, you can be sure of an incredible contest, judged to standards you've come to expect from a Red Beard Barbell Club event!
Each event will be preceded with a full rules briefing followed by a 10-15 minute warm up period. Please use this briefing to ask any questions about the event.
Spectator tickets will be available from 1st March
