Strongmen from across the county came together to compete for the title of Blackpool’s Strongest Man. Among them was Greg “Man Mountain” Dunnings, a veteran strongman who also works for a charity. Standing 6’7″ and weighing 25 stone of pure muscle, 23-year-old Greg aimed to be recognized as one of the UK’s strongest juniors. He organized the event, designing a range of challenging strength tests, including the “Truck Pull,” “Conan’s Wheel,” “Farmer’s Walk,” and “Yoke Carry,” for a thrilling display of strength that was sure to draw a large crowd.
Held in St John’s Square in Blackpool on June 20, 2015, Blackpool’s Strongest Man competition was hosted by Blackpool BID. This charity event featured competitors from both the armed forces and civilian life, kicking off National Armed Forces Week with a celebration of strength and resilience. Participants competed fiercely for the highly sought-after title, symbolising vigor, masculinity, and toughness.
