Sponsors & Partners
Clearwater Classic is proudly supported by United States Strongman, I’ll Pump You Up, MaceFit, Shield of Strength Nutrition, the City of Clearwater, UFC GYM Largo, and a growing list of local Tampa Bay businesses and strength sports sponsors who share our love of raw strength, community, and Clearwater Beach itself. These partners don’t just help us put on a great show — they’re part of what makes Clearwater Classic feel like a hometown event, even as it grows into one of Florida’s premier strongman competitions. We couldn’t do this without them, and we’re always looking to grow our sponsor family.
