Strongman Competition

This year for the first time, the Harford County Farm Fair will be hosting a regional strongman competition.  The format and events will be similar to World’s Strongest Man as seen on ESPN.  Athletes from the mid atlantic region of the east coast will be travelling to Bel Air to compete for prizes and a qualifying spot for the North American Strongman National Championships to be held in October of this year in Louisiana.  Events will include an axle clean and press, farmers walk, sandbag carry, tire flip, and loading of various objects including atlas stones, kegs, and a fire hydrant.  The event will run from mid morning on Saturday until the award ceremony Saturday afternoon.  Come out for a day of incredible displays of strength from athletes ranging in weight from under 200 lbs up to over 300 lbs.
