How Strong Are You? Visit Myrtle Beach and World's Strongest Come Together
How strong are you? Record-breakingly buff? The World's Strongest Man competition will return to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for the second year. The 47th annual event will be held from from May 1-5, 2024. In partnership with Visit Myrtle Beach, this year’s competition will offer reserved general admission seating to enhance the fan experience and a consolidated center stage for the four-day, action-packed competition. The fan festival area will remain free and open to the public, and include food trucks, giveaways and a viewing area for the general public.
The World's Strongest Man is the world's preeminent strongman competition, held annually since 1977. This year's World's Strongest Man competition will see the sport's most dominant strength athletes compete for the title. From pulling trucks to lifting and pressing logs, every event is designed to push the Strongmen to their absolute limits, challenging not only their physical strength, but their agility and mental toughness as well.
The World’s Strongest Man competition will once again take place at the Oceanfront at Burroughs & Chapin Pavilion Place, following a four-day schedule that includes two days of qualifiers and a two-day final. The world’s elite strongmen will be pushed to their physical and mental limits with an epic series of events.
“We’re excited to welcome the World’s Strongest Man competition back to Myrtle Beach and the Burroughs and Chapin Pavilion Place for a second consecutive year,” said Karen Riordan, President & CEO Visit Myrtle Beach. “The crowd at the 2023 event exceeded our expectations, as we saw fans from around the US and the world cheer on the competitors over the four days of the event. We can’t wait to welcome the strongmen and their fans back to The Beach and hope they enjoy all our destination has to offer.”
Past competitors include defending World’s Strongest Man champion Mitchell Hooper (CAN) who is pictured above, as well as two-time champion Tom Stoltman (GBR) and his older brother Luke Stoltman (GBR), Evan “T-Rex” Singleton (USA) and more.
