Snapshot from last year’s event at Old Main Street, Downtown Bradenton
It's official! The Tachi Palace World's Strongest Man competition will return to Manatee County for the second year in a row. This year's competition is the 43rd edition and will take place in East Manatee. In partnership with IMG Academy, it will be held at the Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch, along with other activities hosted in Bradenton.
The participating athletes will put their exceptional strength on display through a series of extremely demanding challenges, including pressing massive logs, lifting the iconic Atlas Stones, and pulling monster trucks.
The executive director of the Bradenton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, Elliott Falcione, considers the event an excellent opportunity to introduce viewers and visitors to Manatee County and what it has to offer. And she may be right - the competition will be broadcasted to an audience of approximately 500 million households through CBS Sports in the US and Channel 5 in the UK.
