World’s Strongest Man Competition underway in Myrtle Beach

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) – The battle for the title of World’s Strongest Man is officially underway in Myrtle Beach.

The four-day World’s Strongest Man Competition kicked off Wednesday at Burroughs & Chapin Pavilion Place with qualifying events and the daily fan fest.

This is the second straight year Myrtle Beach has hosted the event, which pushes 30 of the world’s top strongmen to their physical and mental limits.

General admission tickets will start at $55. The free fan fest will be next to the main competition area and will feature a large jumbotron that streams the event live.

The event’s director, Lindsey Landrum, said they’ve worked to make the event more family-friendly.

The competition goes through Sunday when a champion will be crowned. Part of North Ocean Boulevard will be shut down during the competition.
