StrongKids Halloween 2024
October 19 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
The SPOOKtacularly popular StrongKids Halloween returns for its EIGHTH edition Saturday, October 19th! The competition will be held from 12:00-3:00pm (Finish time is a conservative estimate depending on registrations and events, in last year’s competition younger kids were finished by 1:30 and older kids by 2!).
Kids from all over will gather in Halloween costume at Viking Performance Training and celebrate… well, being a strong kid!
Bring the kids for a great time competing, showing and testing their true strength… and since it’s Halloween, in costume! Kids being strong, being active, and most importantly- having a great time. Viking and Halloween-themed prizes and medals for 1st through 3rd, as well as Halloween treats and contest shirts for everyone who signs up at least a week before the competition*!
- We will order several extra shirts for kids who sign up all the way to the contest date, but in order to help us get a more accurate order count please sign up in advance!
Age groups are as follows… 2-3, 4-5 years, 6-7 years, 8-9 years, 10-11 years, 12-13 years. Events and challenges will be increasingly scaled to make them truly age appropriate for the StrongKids!!!
We will be competing in 4 kid-friendly strongman events, with a bit of a Halloween flair!
EVENTS
1. Dawn of the Deadlift Medley! – A StrongKids Halloween Classic, StrongKids will have a series of increasingly challenging deadlifts (which could be Kettlebells, Barbells, Trap Hex Bars, etc)! When StrongKids get to the last deadlift, they will use their remaining time limit to get as many reps as possible!
2. Overhead Press + Medicine Ball Load Medley! – What a challenge! StrongKids will have a series of increasingly heavier weights to lift overhead alteranting with medicine balls to stack on boxes. The fastest time or most objects lifted wins! (Example – kettlebells overhead, medicine ball load, light barbell overhead, medicine ball load). 
3. Viking Ninja Obstacle Course! – One of the most popular parts of StrongKids classes has always been the obstacle courses, and in 2022 the obstacle course became an integral part of the StrongKids Halloween event. Get ready for running, jumping, climbing, crawling, and more!! Fastest time wins!
4. Sled Arm Over Arm + Sled Push Back + Viking Farmer’s Carry! – This one’s strength and endurance, just like the Vikings had to have! StrongKids will sit on the ground and pull a weighted sled to them (20′), then have to push the sled back to its starting line. But they’re not done! As soon as the Sled is pushed back, StrongKids will finish with a Farmer’s Carry for 20′! The fastest time wins!
- The youngest StrongKids will have modified, shorter events to challenge themselves but keep it less confusing 🙂
