SIC Strength has been personally invited to host a kilted Strongman competition in the main arena at the 2024 Robin Hoods Medieval Faire!

Saturday June 29th will be reserved for us Strongmen, Strongwomen, and Strongpeople, -- while Sunday is reserved for the Highland Games.

*All athletes will be required to wear a kilt, please plan accordingly. If you would like to purchase a custom SIC Strength sports kilt to receive at weigh-ins, please complete and submit the form linked here. (if you don't have a google account, email sicstrengthteam@gmail.com about kilts) I am only charging for the kilt itself, any customization will be included for free. 

This event will be held outdoors, so it is advised to bring coolers and tent setups to protect you from the sun and dehydration. The Fair will be going on at the same time so you will also have access to that, including shopping, food, and beverage (at your own expenses) .... but if any athlete presents as buzzed or drunk at any point during the competition you will not be permitted to lift.

Athletes enter the RenFair free of charge.

Because this event is at the RenFair, we are planning on going BIG and we encourage any attire, face paint, hair, and makeup for athletes....you can channel your inner beer wench, viking, Braveheart, barbarian, fairy, or more. Don't worry, the only part that is mandatory is the kilt, and please wear compression shorts underneath! There will be a zero tolerance rule for swearing, as there will be kiddos in the crowd. Let's put on a show and demonstrate how STRONG we all are. We are the vikings who would have pulled the boats ON LAND!
