Participants and spectators are invited to the third annual Strong Man/Tough Chick competition Aug. 13 in Clintonville.
Organized by Hard-Core Fitness, the event will be held behind the gym at 143 S. Main St.
Competitors ages 4 to 81 have preregistered for the contest, which will include farmer’s carry, Atlas stones, tire flip, muscle medley and truck pull.
Prizes will be awarded to first-, second- and third-place winners in men’s, women’s and children’s categories based on age and weight.
Last-minute registrations and weigh-ins will begin at 8 a.m.; competition starts at 9 a.m.
According to Dana Tennie, owner and trainer at Hard-Core fitness, the event is a family oriented competition.
“Families come from around the state to participate in this fun but challenging competition,” she said. “Both parents and children join in the fun.”
Because the competition is divided into categories, participants compete against those of similar size and age.
“Audiences really love seeing the young children pull a ‘kid-sized” car while the strong men and women actually pull cars and heavy trucks,” Tennie said.
The competition is expected to conclude prior to noon.
