Now that the dust has settled, let’s find out how much money athletes earned after the end of the 2023 Rogue Invitational that took place this weekend.
The thrilling weekend reached its pinnacle as Laura Horvath and Pat Vellner emerged victorious, securing the CrossFit championship at the 2023 Rogue Invitational. In the Strongman division, Mitchell Hooper claimed the top spot.
Rogue Invitational is one of the biggest CrossFit competition outside the official season. That also reflects on the prize purse athletes compete for, bringing in much attention of the media and athletes themselves to do their best.

And how much money is involved for athletes competing at the 2023 Rogue Invitational in Texas? First, remember how the prize purse was calculated?
- Rogue has provided a 1 million dollar cash investment.
- $275,000 of Bitcoin purchased at $16,000 per coin. Any growth on this coin will add to the purse and will be paid out at the valuation at the time the prize purse is locked.
- $5 per attendee ticket sold will be added to the purse.
- 10% of registration fees for the 2023 online qualifier, “The Q”
- 10% of registration fees for the 2023 community event, “The C”
- $5.00 for every Rogue Invitational T-shirt sold
- $5.00 for every pair of GORUCK Ballistic Trainers sold on roguefitness.com
- Sponsors will have the ability to make direct contributions to the purse
One interesting thing about the prize purse is that it goes up with each day because of tickets sales and shirts sales. However, if you read our article a few days before the start of the events, the prize purse totalled U$ 1, 631,595.77.
However, now, after the competition is over, the prize purse declined by almost $2,000. That is likely due to the volatility of Bitcoin. But, in the bigger picture, since the prize purse are divided by the 20 individual athletes competing in the CrossFit division and the 10 Strongman competitors, the end result for each athlete is not something to worry about.
Ultimately, the prize purse was U$1,629,676.17.
