The 2024 Rogue Invitational Will Be Hosted in Aberdeen, Scotland
The Rogue Invitational, which features elite CrossFit and strongman competition, is going aboard in 2024. The 2024 Rogue Invitational will be held from Nov. 8-10, 2024, in Aberdeen, Scotland.
Since 2021, the Rogue Invitational has been hosted at the Dell Diamond Stadium in Round Rock, TX.
The sixth edition of the Rogue Invitational will be the first time the competition is held outside of the United States. The inaugural edition of the Rogue Invitational was held at Rogue’s headquarters in Columbus, OH. The 2020 edition was held online due to the COVID-19 lockdowns.
The announcement of the shift to Scotland has caused some shifts in the elite strongman contest calendar. As mentioned in the video above by Laurence Shahlaei and Liz Mason, the 2024 Magnús Ver Magnússon Classic, held in Iceland, has been pushed back to Nov. 22-24, 2024, to allow athletes who compete in the Rogue Strongman Invitational sufficient time to recover.
The 2023 Rogue Invitational featured the return of six-time Fittest Woman on Earth® Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr, who will compete at full capacity through the 2024 season. Toomey-Orr is scheduled to compete against Arielle Loewen in Open Workout 24.3.
Toomey-Orr scored the silver medal at the 2023 Rogue Invitational to Laura Horvath, who dominated the top CrossFit contests throughout 2023. At the time of this article’s publication, there is little doubt that the rivalry between those two competitors will be a highlight of the 2024 Rogue Invitational should they both stay healthy throughout the season.
