Competitions

HWC is not only a club that competes — we are a club that brings competition to the Highlands.

Northern Districts Weightlifting Championships

Organised by Highland Weightlifting Club in association with Weightlifting Scotland, the Northern Districts Weightlifting Championships is the premier weightlifting competition in the north of Scotland. Held annually at the Strength and Conditioning Room at Inverness Leisure, the event has grown every year and now attracts competitors from across Scotland, with a record number of entries in 2024.

The competition is open to all age categories and is sanctioned by Weightlifting Scotland, meaning results count towards national rankings. It is free to spectate — and well worth coming along to watch even if you are not yet competing.
