More than 70 athletes will take part in this year’s Berkshire’s Strongest to see who will be crowned as the county’s most powerful competitor

The event will be hosted by Red Beard Barbell Club on Saturday, June 10 for the second consecutive year and will see athletes compete in five different events.

The competitors will take on the deadlift wave, ducking medley, log lift, beers and bags and stone to shoulder in a gruelling test of strength and endurance.

Head coach Charlie Knight said: “We are thrilled to present Berkshire’s Strongest Man & Woman, an electrifying celebration of strength and passion where athletes and spectator alike will be treated to an unforgettable display of power, resilience and camaraderie.”

The event will feature expert judge Rob Frampton, who has more than30 appearances at international contests, including two World Strongest Mans.

Frampton will be joined by Katie Smith, international strongwoman, the second Strongest Woman in Britain and second Place winner at the Arnolds Pro competition.
