Meet announcement

KCSTRONGMAN is excited to announce the fourteenth installment of the Old Time Strongman Championship. This will be the eleventh time this meet has been held at our facility, with the first three being held in Kirksville, hosted by Thom VanVleck’s JWC club. Ours is a no-frills facility, and a no frills meet. It is a place where big hitters get together to lift heavy weight. There is no climate control other than opening a door and some windows (we do have a big fan, but then you might not be able to hear the down command). The latrine comes in the form of an outhouse out back. We dust out the spider webs and knock down any wasp nests before you get there. The weights might be rusty, but they get heavy enough, anyhow.

Since its inception, there have been seven men’s division winners, and five women’s. Chad Ullom and Phoebe Todd have won four apiece. Who out there is ready to take up the challenge and vie for the title of 2025 Old Time Strongman Champion? We hope to have a fantastic turnout. Details below:
