The Rogue Invitational’s online qualifier, known as The Q, officially concluded last night, wrapping up an intense weekend of competition. Athletes across the globe have been vying for a chance to compete in the in-person event in Aberdeen, Scotland, completing four challenging workouts to secure their positions on the leaderboard.
Top Performers Secure Invites
