Minnesota's Strongest is returning for 2025 at a NEW venue! 

The ROC in St Louis Park will not only be a fantastic outdoor space for our event while also providing a roof to protect us from any weather elements mother nature wants to throw at us!  It also has excellent bleacher seating available for spectators!

This is also a Regional Comp for Strongman Corp, which means MORE invites for Nationals AND ARNOLD INVITES FOR THE WINNERS! 

You do NOT have to have qualified for a regional comp to sign up!

This event will be Strongman Corp Sanctioned and will require current Strongman Corp membership to participate!!
