We're back... Georgia's Strongest Man was a hit last year with just under 100 athletes, we are looking to blow that out of the water by adding a 3rd Lane and better coverage from the sun! Our goal is to have as much fun and energy as last year... but faster with the 3rd lane running and with more shade over our athletes and volunteers! 

We continue our tradition of running a great, heavy, fun show and specifically honoring our own Scott Helm's, who started and ran GSM for many years. We're looking to make it even bigger this year with more sponsors, help and hopefully prizes / cash for our competitors. 

10 athletes from last years show went to nationals and another 6 are going to the Arnold and 2 of them won their pro card... this is a big show with a lot of great competitors! 

PRIZES: 

BEST COMPETITOR - Our judges, loaders and promoters will pick 1 man and 1 woman to be the Best Competitor and Each of these winners will get a $150 check on the spot! The criteria for this is not just their ability as a Strongman but also a person and competitor as they go throughout the day. 

EVERY competitor will receive a gift bag with tons of goodies from our sponsors as well as a a competition T-shirt.
