Hey guys! This is my first post on this site. I am the promoter for the Tri Cities Strongest Man. This is an annual event that will take place in a different Tri Cities area each year. Last year was in front of the Reflex store in Coquitlam. This year is at the Golden Spike Days in Port Moody and next year has yet to be decided.

It is a novice/intermidiate contest designed for the new athlete to the sport, but allowing everyone to enter. There are not that many contests in BC yet which is why i want to give everyone a chance. This is why there will be no cash prizes but trophies, a t-shirt, gift bags, and the title of Tri Cities Strongest Man.

Good luck to all.
