WEEK 9 | Task Force Series -  Selection (1)

  • 2 Miles for Time

  • 36m Inverted Crawl

We've got two awesome challenges lined up for you, inspired by the Delta Force pre-selection fitness tests. Here's the best part: you can choose to tackle these challenges together or separately, in any order you like and at any point during the week.

WEEK 10 | Task Force Series -  UBRR (2)

  • Push-ups in 1 minute

  • Sit-ups in 1 minute

  • Pull-ups in 1 minute

  • Dips in 1 minute

The UBRR (Upper Body Round Robin) is inspired by the Delta Force series of strength tests of the same name. Take on several individual strength tests (with alternative movement variations offered depending on your level of fitness) at any point throughout the week.

WEEK 11 | Task Force Series -  5-Mile Ruck (3)

  • 5 Miles for Time

This week, we're taking inspiration from the Delta Forces 5-mile test. Your goal is to cover a distance of 5 miles as quickly as you can, and you have the option to do it with or without adding weight up to 20kg. Whether you choose to walk or run, the key is to go as fast as you can. Let's push ourselves and aim for our personal best!

WEEK 12 | Task Force Series -  The Long Walk (4)

  • 7-Day Distance Accumulator

Are you ready for the ultimate test of endurance? In Delta Force's physical testing, you'll be taking on a 40-mile (64 km) march, also known as "The Long Walk". The best part? You get to decide how to tackle this challenge. First choose your target - 10, 20, 30 or 40 miles. You can also choose to go weighted or unweighted, and even split the distance into smaller activities throughout the week.

WEEK 13 | Four Horsemen Series -  Power (1)

  • 400m for Time

Speed and explosive power are crucial in running, fitness, and life. The speed test aims to record your three fastest times for a 400m run. You are allowed up to 5 minutes of rest between attempts. While walking is allowed, strive to cover the distance as quickly as possible.

WEEK 14 | Four Horsemen Series -  Speed (2)

  • 1-Mile for Time

Take on the mile for time challenge to push your aerobic capacity to the limit. This test evaluates how well your heart and lungs supply oxygen during exercise, crucial for running, fitness, and overall sports performance.

Compete to cover a mile in record time and earn points based on your speed. Want more points? Opt for a rematch, but this time you'll only score if you beat your own previous time.

WEEK 15 | Four Horsemen Series -  Strength (3)

  • Bring Sally Up

If you're familiar with the Bring Sally Up challenge, you know the drill. But for those who aren't, it involves playing Moby's song "Flower" with the repetitive lyrics "Bring Sally up, bring Sally down, lift and squat, gotta tear the ground." Your task is to up on one rep every time the song says "bring Sally up", and back down on "bring Sally down".


Challengers are required to perform the challenge for both push-ups and squats. Depending on your level of fitness you can chose the alternative movement of kneeling push-ups.

WEEK 16 | Four Horsemen Series -  Endurance (4)

  • Pressure Cooker Mile

The Pressure Cooker Mile challenge pushes your endurance and grit to the limit. Run 1 mile in 18 minutes, then keep reducing your target time by 1 minute after each successful run until you can no longer meet the time requirement.

Our ethos

Embrace Adversity. Ignite Resilience. Thrive in life.

Rokman stands as a testament to the belief that embracing adversity ignites resilience and propels us towards a life of fulfilment.

our mission

Our aim is to inspire people to live healthier lives with mental fortitude

I'm Terry Rosoman, challenge enthusiast and Rokman Founder. Rokman was born from my aspiration to inspire action and cultivate resilience. I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of challenges in my life, solidifying my belief in the vital role of mental toughness for a fulfilling existence. Yet, traditional challenges had their drawbacks: the need for travel, steep entry fees, and the monotony of repetition. 


Yearning for a more accessible and dynamic solution, I envisioned Rokman. It emerged as a beacon of opportunity, offering frequent, thrilling, and convenient challenges. No longer confined by limitations, I forged ahead, determined to provide a platform that breaks the cycle of complacency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be mega fit?

No. Rokman challenge series offer a variety of different levels of entry to suit all fitness levels, from novice all the way up to advanced.

How does it work?

How does it work?

How long do we have to complete each challenge?

We recommend that you complete each challenge within 7-days from the date of issue. However, we understand that life can often get in the way, so that’s why accept submissions up until 7-days after the end of the series.

What is someone cheats?

We do our very best to weed out any cheating by asking people to evidence their challenge attempts. However, due to the nature of this being an online challenge series, it’s not 100% fool proof.We have to take everyone’s submissions at face-value. If we can confidently identify people either cheating or doing the challenge incorrectly, we will notify the competitor privately via email.At the end of the day, the leaderboard is just a bit of competitive fun. These challenges are personal tests of resilience. If people decide to cheat, they’re only cheating themselves. If you concentrate on yourself and give your best honest performance then you can hold your head high at the end of the day.

Do you offer refunds?

Unfortunately, we unable to offer refunds on challenge series entry, however, we do offer transfers. If you’re unable to take part in this challenge series, let us know and we can transfer you on to an alternative series.

Can I use a treadmill?

All running challenges are designed to undertaken outside, however, if you are unable to go outside we will accept treadmill entries. If participating on a treadmill, the treadmill must be set at a 2.5 degree angle.
