The Florida Man Games took place in St. Augustine, south of Jacksonville, and were presented by FloGrown, a Florida lifestyle company.
The games were organized by Pete Melfi, owner and founder of local news outlet The 904 Now and benefited the Jimmy Jam Community Outreach, a nonprofit that helps local residents in need.

Florida resident James Gordon won the pork-eating contest "Eat the Butt," the Associated Press reported.
"I’ve lived in Florida my whole life,” Gordon said after his triumph, according to the AP. "They’re calling these ‘events.’ I’m calling this (expletive) Tuesday afternoon.”
Women were also invited to compete as pinup girls in the "Florida Ma'am Pinup" competition.
TikTok stars who play on Florida's outrageous stories took place in the event, like Josh “Wicks” Robinson, or @OmgItsWicks, known for his "Only in Florida" videos.
The winning team had the chance to bring home $1,000, a champion's belt, medals and a Florida flag decoration.
