Throwback to last Saturday: 🔥💪🎉
The rain threatened the day, but we did it anyway. 🤪 THANK YOU to our VOLUNTEERS! 👏
Along with barrels, chains and other weird strongman things, there were:
✅ 23 vendors bringing wellness, fitness and local flavor.
✅ 50+ volunteers powering every detail, moving nearly 10 tons of equipment.
✅ 40 amateur + 25 pro athletes from 7 countries and 13 states throwing down
✅ Competition judging by absolute LEGENDS
✅ Over 1,000 people filling Elmwood Park
✨ Highlights: StrongKidz Zone by the Play for All Foundation bringing recreation to everyone, Dash Flash Mob with the Rescue Mission of Roanoke celebrating 20 years of "Move your feet so others can eat," Roanoke Taekwondo demos creating awareness for anti-bullying + su***de, Star City Foam Flingers (not Slingers OR Fingers) with custom blasters and club info, Roanoke City Police Department supporting the Hero Division athletes, first responders staffing our First Aid tent from Burton Center for Arts & Technology + Radford University Emergency Services program, naloxone training by the Roanoke Valley Collective Response empowering people to save lives. ✨
All powered by the Star City Strong Foundation - the nonprofit grown because of your feedback. We're steady working to reduce barriers to strength sports + active communities, while championing the link between movement and mental wellness.
10 years of strength behind us. The next chapter is already loading. 👀🌟
