“Battle Under the Stars, with the Stars, for the stars. ALL the stars aligned perfectly to be a part of such a great competition that I hope to return to again and again! Women empowering other women and building each other up was refreshing and much needed in this day and time. Thank you LeTia! Your vision became our dream!”
JUDGE: Shannon Byrd, World’s Strongest Nail Tech
Battle Under the Stars showed me what womanhood is all about. Being surrounded by so many strong, beautiful, and supportive ladies while performing difficult feats of strength helped keep me grounded and reminded me that we’re not only here to lift weights, but to also lift each other up”

“Battle has been a non-negotiable on my calendar the past few years. LeTia puts so much heart and care into putting on this event and creating an experience for the athletes, it truly reminds me of why I got into strongman: community. This all-women’s show celebrates athletes from all walks of life and creates a safe and inclusive environment for everyone to enjoy the spotlight and celebrate what it means to be a strong woman. It’s been such a joy to watch some of these athletes return every year and continue to flourish. Being at Battle Under the Stars is about more than just judging a strongman comp for me – it’s about returning to the roots of why we all started in the first place”
JUDGE: Erin Murray
Nothing says female empowerment like heavy weights and badass women

“Battle Under The Stars isn’t just an all-women’s contest—it’s the embodiment of what the sport of strongwoman truly represents. From the vulnerability shared during the athlete seminar to the fierce determination displayed on contest day, this event captures the full spectrum of strength. Every competitor, judge, and volunteer sets a meaningful example for the next generation: that a woman can be powerful and resilient, yet open-hearted and real. It’s a reminder that strength isn’t just physical—it’s also found in community, courage, and showing up as your full self.”
