Welcome to Arkansas Record Breakers.

This year (2024) we will be setting and breaking National records.  Willie Wessels will be on site!

*USS Nationals 2025

*2024 USS Inc. membership required

LOCATION

Denmill Cedar Lodge Melbourne, AR

Preferred Hotel is DenMill Cedar Lodge.  https://denmillcedarlodge.com/

DenMill Cedar Lodge is a small business partner and they support our local community.  Mention the Strongman show when booking.  Their rates are pretty good and very nice people.

Ashley House Inn is another local business we support.  https://ashleyhousehotelmelbournearkansas.com/

Check Airbnb in the area and also hotels in Batesville, AR.  Book early because Lyon College has their Scottish Festival around this time.

Venue: We have outgrown Outback Gym and will be looking for a new space.  It will be in Melbourne, AR area.  Will update as soon as we have it locked down.

Fundraising:  We are raising money for Outback Kitty Haven, our non-profit.  Outback Kitty Haven houses many cats in a loving facility that lets them live out their life in comfort.  We also Trap, Spay and Neuter and return local feral cats within the community.  The idea is to control the feral population in a humane way,  and be cost effective in doing it.

This event will be livestreamed by Garage Gym Life Media!

It's my plan to have a photographer on site and provide free pictures to all athletes.

We will either have a food truck or two onsite or provide some other type of food.

We are working on getting a Fire Truck to pull for fun and perhaps a small donation to Outback Kitty Haven.  We are also working on some other fun ideas that will be good for athletes and the families.

Mystery Event

It's a vehicle pull, utilizing a Spud Inc Harness and a secured rope to assist you. 

I'm paying a $1 a foot.

This is designed to be a fun event.  If you are a crumudgeon you may want to skip this one.  But, if you like to have fun...  You'll like it!

40 feet.  45 seconds time limit.  45 because it's not 50 feet.
