Most notably, the 2025 Rogue Invitational Strongman & Strongwoman contest is set to take place on October 31 – November 2 in Aberdeen, Scotland.

2025 Rogue Invitational Strongman & Strongwoman Lineups
Strongman
The 2025 Rogue Invitational Strongman lineup is absolutely stacked. It features the reigning 2025 World’s Strongest Man champion, Rayno Nel, as well as the 2025 Strongest Man On Earth, Evan Singleton.
In addition, the 3x WSM Tom Stoltman is coming in hopes of adding some more accolades to his list of achievements. The defending 2x Rogue Invitational champion, Mitchell Hooper, will also be making an appearance after coming to a decision to cut his off-season short.
What might interest fans is the fact that Hafthor Bjornsson will be competing at the 2025 Rogue Invitational. Hafthor has had an active season but largely focused on the Deadlift World Record, which he achieved with a 510-kilogram (1,124.4-pound) pull at the 2025 World Deadlift Championships.

Strongwoman
2024 was the first year that the women’s division was featured at the Rogue Invitational and it proved to be incredible. So, it is making a return in 2025, featuring some spectacular athletes once again. The biggest favorite seems to be Inez Carrasquillo, who will be coming in as a defending champion. Inez was extremely dominant last year and will undoubtedly look to secure her second consecutive title with another impressive performance.
The 2024 Arnold Strongwoman Classic winner, Angelica Jardine, will also come to Aberdeen in hopes of dethroning Carrasquillo. Multiple other women will have the same intention, including the former World’s Strongest Woman, Andrea Thompson, and the greatest female deadlifter, Lucy Underdown.
