2025 Rogue Invitational: CrossFit Competition Roster and Prize Purse
The 2025 Rogue Invitational will be held from October 31 to November 2 in Aberdeen, Scotland, at the P&J Live. This marks only the second time in the competition’s seven-year history that it will take place outside the United States.
- From the home of Rogue Fitness in Columbus, OH, to Round Rock, TX, and then overseas to Aberdeen, the Rogue Invitational has become one of the biggest CrossFit competitions outside of the Games.
Last year, when the Rogue Invitational debuted in Europe, the competition featured top athletes in CrossFit, Strongman, and, for the first time, Strongwoman. Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr secured her fourth title belt, while Jeff Adler earned his first.
- While Toomey-Orr isn’t returning this year, Adler is, along with previous winners Laura Horvath, Pat Vellner, and Justin Medeiros.
2025 Rogue Invitational CrossFit Competition Roster
Along with the Legends, Strongman, and Strongwoman divisions, a total of 40 CrossFit athletes will compete in the Individual division.
The Individual roster consists of both invitees based on the Rogue Points System and a few athletes who qualified through “The Q,” Rogue’s online qualifier.
Athletes earn points based on their performance throughout the CrossFit season, including the Open, Quarterfinals, the CrossFit Games, Wodapalooza, and World Fitness Project.
- They also collect points with Games wins, past participation, and placings in the Invitational and Invitational wins.
If an athlete declines the invitation, the next person down the list is selected.

2025 Rogue Invitational CrossFit Competition Prize Purse
Rogue is again offering its ever-growing “Iron Games Prize Purse.” The goal is to expand the financial incentives for athletes, and organizers are taking the following steps to achieve this.
- Rogue has committed $1 million in cash and bought an additional $275,000 worth of Bitcoin, purchased at $95,000 per coin. Any rise in the coin’s value will increase the total prize and will be “paid out at the valuation when the prize purse is finalized.”
- Five dollars from each spectator ticket sold contributes to the purse, along with 10% of registration fees from the qualifier (“The Q”) and the community event (“The C”).
- For the third year, $5 from each Rogue Invitational T-shirt and $5 from each pair of GORUCK Ballistic Trainers sold on roguefitness.com will go toward the purse.
The 2024 prize purse will be used to pay both the CrossFit, Strongman, and Strongwoman competitors.
Here is the prize purse as of Oct 9 at 12:00 p.m. ET:
- $232,337.73
- $81,048.04
- $43,225.62
