Time: TBA

Registration: Maximum of 14 competitors

This competition is focused on growing the sport. It is for guys who are new to the sport and those who haven’t made the podium in any intermediate level competitions in the last two years.

The United Way Strength Challenge has been designed to generate community funding with a new twist…put on a high quality strongman event with all proceeds going to local charities. All entry fees will go back to the athletes with event money and some additional cash for the top three. There will be supplement prizes for all.

Since this is a charity fundraising event, all athletes are expected to bring some non-perishable food donations for the local food bank. The corporate fundraising goal for this event is to raise between $5000 to $10000 for the United Way of Cambridge and North Dumfries.

All athletes will be expected to send in a picture (action shot) of themselves three weeks prior to the competition along with their entry fee. This will guarantee their spot and also ensure that they are included on the event poster.

Please email Luke Skaarup to register or with any questions, at the address below. Payment can be made via Paypal or cheque; position will be confirmed when payment is received. This will be the first strongman competition in Cambridge; please help Luke put on a great show.
