Central Valley’s Iron Harvest Classic
2026 · Year I · Halloween Edition
The inaugural Iron Harvest Classic marks the first annual USAW sanctioned Olympic Weightlifting competition hosted in Tulare, California by Optimum Strength Barbell Club.
Designed to become the Central Valley’s premier fall weightlifting event, Iron Harvest brings together youth, junior, senior, and masters athletes for a professionally organized, athlete-first competition experience.
Held on October 31, 2026, this single-platform meet provides an ideal opportunity for lifters to build totals, qualify for upcoming major competitions, and compete in a focused, well-run environment before the winter championship season.
Every registered athlete receives the official Year I Halloween Edition event shirt, and custom Iron Harvest medals will be awarded to podium finishers.
With a commitment to smooth execution, organized warm-up flow, and on-time sessions, the Iron Harvest Classic is built to grow into a long-standing Central Valley tradition.
Harvest Strength. Reap PRs.
