The 2025 Arnold Strongman Classic (ASC) occurs from Feb. 28 through March 1, 2025, at the 2025 Arnold Sports Festival at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, OH. 2023 World’s Strongest Man (WSM) champion Mitchell Hooper is the reigning two-time ASC champion aiming to three-peat.
Hooper contends against nine other elite strongmen representing four countries through six events for the ASC title. Among them are three-time ASC champion Hafthor Björnsson and three-time WSM champion Tom Stoltman.
