Strongman Competition & Highland Games

2023 Strongman Competition & Highland Games

It has been stated in various histories that Highland was probably named by Scottish immigrants who said it reminded them of their "Beloved Scottish Highlands".  In the spirit of honoring that heritage, and the strength of those who settled here, the Highland Games athletic competition will take place on August 6th, 2022.   

Join the Utah Heavy Athletics athletes again on Saturday Aug 6th for the Highland Games featuring traditional Scottish events such as the Caber Toss, Weight for Height, Stone Put, Weight for Distance, as well as the State Hammer Championship, and the popular Sheaf Toss for Height.

See UtahHeavyAthletics.com for further details and registration.
