UK Strongman North

Welcome to the dedicated web site for the UK Strongman-North competition run each year as a major component in the popular Northwich Festival (www.northwich-festival.co.uk) held each year on August Bank Holiday Monday. This event has now developed into one of the top strongman events in the UK.
 
Having started out way back in 1985 as the ‘Cheshire Strongman’ competition, run by Northwich RUFC, it has developed into a fantastic competition and attracts competitors from all over the country.
 
Regional heats were be introduced in 2007 not only to promote the competition around the North of England, but to allow novice and experienced strongmen to practice their techniques for the final in August
 
Mark Preece, competition director and former strongman, has devised some fantastic new events for the competition. For more details see the application forms. 

Madisons Bar and Restaurant in Northwich were last years sponsor of the Novice Stongman event. See their web site for opening hours and events. www.madisons33.co.uk
