The annual Dee Clayton Classic Bodybuilding, Figure, Physique, Bikini International Invitational Championship returns for the seventh edition on Oct. 21 at the Pacific Islands Club-Saipan.
The 2017 Overall Bodybuilding and Physique titles will be at stake as well as the Open Bodybuilding and Physique, Master and Classic Physique, Figure, Bikini, Fitness, and Fitness Pageant categories.
Organizers have also added the Teen Bodybuilding, Physique, Fitness, and Bikini divisions to further encourage the youth to get into shape and remain active.

Cousins Prince Toe Sr. and Grady Gary of California, who are international bodybuilders, and International Bodybuilding Federation professional Greg Monk of Guam will grace the occasion as guest posers.
Gray, in a Facebook post, said he looks forward to showcasing his skills in front of the Saipan crowd. “[I’m] always grateful for the opportunity. I cannot wait to meet the great people of Saipan and give them a good show. I have been to Saipan a few times as a guest poser and what I enjoyed most is the hospitality.”
He thanked DC Classic organizer Dee Clayton for inviting him and requesting him to bring another guest poser.
“I selected my cousin (Toe). He inspired me to start training when I was in college about 10 years ago and he inspired me to get into bodybuilding a few years back. He’s been a beast since,” said Gray.
This is the second bodybuilding event in the NMI for 2017 after the CNMI Bodybuilding and Physique Championships took place last July where Clayton also competed and won the Masters Ladies Bikini event.
