Big. New. Heavy. 😎

That’s the only way to describe the Unit Classic, a brand new competition coming this September at the Unit in Colchester.

A group of 10 incredible athletes have accepted invites to take on some of the heaviest events in the strongman world and will be in with a chance to take home a share of the HUGE £3000 podium prize money!

Not only that, 2 wildcard entries will be coming from the top finishers at Britains U120 podium to shake things up a bit!

We can’t wait for this show. A livestream and limited in person tickets will be available and information for them will be released in the coming months. Keep an eye on our page for more details on this!
