We move houses for a living. But this September, we’re letting someone try to move one of our trucks without turning the ignition on. Eyring Movers is proud to sponsor the Strongman Champions League USA event in Sandusky, Ohio, where elite strongman competitors will attempt to pull one of our moving trucks using nothing but their own strength. No engine, no wheels doing any of the work, just rope, harness, and raw effort against several tons of moving truck.
What the Sandusky Strongman Competition Actually Is?
If you haven’t heard of the Strongman Champions League, you’re not alone, at least not yet. This is the league’s first year competing in the United States, with events split between Toledo and Sandusky. The Sandusky Ohio events take place along Shoreline Drive in downtown Sandusky on September 19 and 20, 2026, and they’re free to attend.
The competition draws professional strongman athletes from around the world, the same level of competitor you’d see on ESPN or in the World’s Strongest Man broadcasts. Events include classic strongman disciplines like the keg toss, atlas stones, and of course, the truck pull, which is exactly what it sounds like: a competitor harnessed to a loaded vehicle, racing the clock to drag it across a marked distance.
This isn’t a local novelty show. It’s a professional-level strongman competition Ohio hasn’t hosted before, and Sandusky is putting itself on the map by hosting it right on the waterfront.
Why Is Eyring Movers Sponsoring the Event?
As a sponsor, Eyring Movers is contributing one of our own moving trucks to the truck pull event. Sandusky and the surrounding lake communities have been part of our service area for years, and our Marblehead sales office isn’t far from where the competition takes place. Sponsoring one of the biggest Sandusky events happening this year, and handing over a truck for a strongman to pull, is our way of showing up for a community we already call home.
What Competitors Will Have to Do?
The truck pull is one of the more demanding events in any strongman competition Ohio has seen. Competitors strap into a harness connected to the truck by a tow rope, then physically drag the vehicle across a set distance against the clock. There’s no running start and no help from a spotter once the clock starts. It comes down to leg drive, grip strength, and the ability to get a loaded vehicle moving from a dead stop, which is often the hardest part.
Whoever pulls our truck the fastest will have done something most people never come close to attempting.
Where and When You Can See It?
The main competition day in Sandusky runs Saturday, September 20, 2026, along Shoreline Drive in downtown Sandusky, with the truck pull among the featured events throughout the day. Admission is free, and the setting right on Sandusky Bay makes it an easy add to a weekend already full of Sandusky, Ohio events for anyone in the area.
A Little About Eyring Movers
Eyring Movers has been part of Northeast Ohio since 1897, when the Eyring family started out moving furniture and pianos by horse-drawn wagon in Cleveland. Since then, the company has grown into a full-service mover handling everything from local moves across Northern Ohio to long-distance relocations across the country, along with packing, storage, and specialty services like piano moving.
We’ve hauled a lot of things over the past 125-plus years. This might be the first time we’ve sponsored an event where the goal is to see if someone can move one of our trucks without us.
If you’re in the Sandusky area this September, come see if anyone can actually pull one of our trucks. And if you’re planning a move of your own, whether it’s across town or across the country, request a free quote and let our team do the moving the usual way, with the engine running.
