Tickets are on sale now for the four-day competition, which also features a FREE Fan Festival area including a viewing area, food trucks, giveaways and a special sensory room hosted by KultureCity for families and individuals who have sensory needs or non-visible disabilities.
In partnership with Visit Myrtle Beach, the 47th edition of the World’s Strongest Mancompetition returns to the Oceanfront at Burroughs & Chapin Pavilion Place and will follow a four-day schedule that includes two days of qualifiers and a two-day final.
Thirty of the world’s top strongmen will once again be pushed to their physical and mental limits with an epic series of events, including the return of the Car Walk, a fan favorite event where athletes will race two-by-two, strapping a vintage VW bug to their shoulders before racing down a 25-meter course. New this year is the Sandbag Steeplechase, featuring a twist on the standard loading race; large sandbags are carried and thrown over a bar before being collected and loaded onto a platform in the fastest time possible.
