WREXHAM city centre will be a real showcase of strength this weekend.

Thirteen muscle mountains from across Britain, including two local hopefuls, will be competing for the title of Wrexham's Strongest Man 2025.

Run by Spartan Training Centre, based in Ruabon, the spectacular show will be held at Ty Pawb.

The free entry event is taking place tomorrow (Saturday, August 16), from 10am-3pm.

The event, to be officially opened by Wrexham Mayor Cllr Tina Mannering, is organised by Spartan owner Jason Jones.

Compère on the day will be England's Strongest Man, Paddy Haynes.

Those aiming to take the title Wrexham's Strongest Man 2025, will be put to the test across five events: max log, deadlift stone medley, sandbag steeple chase ("a real lung buster"), farmer's walk and iconic Atlas stone run.

During the interval, there will also be a dumbbell world record attempt.

Jason thanks this year's sponsors for their support, including Net World Sports, NPORS, Cynergy Security, Xgas, RB Maintenance Services, Craig Jackson Plastering, DBP Home Improvements and Wrexham men's mental health charity Pwrpas.
