I love the challenges. They are just right to push me outside of my comfort zone. The support from fellow competitors is awesome as the focused goal of the group is to challenge each other to be better.

Absolutely love the Rokman challenge series. I like the way only one activity brief is released each week as it allows you to focus and fully engage with the challenge, there is always great support in the facebook group... will definitely be coming back for more!
Adam Badat
I love a challenge and this was the perfect fit. It was a brand new start for me after mostly gym based bodybuilding style training for years. It’s really improved my cardio and functional ability. The team are very supportive and responsive and the challenges are tough but fun.
Graham Berry
I’ve just completed the High Walk challenge (UK Special Forces) and loved it. It changed-up my normal running regime, challenged me physically, pushed me mentally as I wanted to succeed and did, I got sore legs, a pip and certificate to be proud of and a true sense of achievement.
Josie Cheshire
I found this a challenge but achievable. It's made me realise I'm made of tougher stuff than I thought. The Team Rokman Facebook group is also encouraging and everyone is super friendly. I've already signed up for another month.
Steve Sherman
Good challenges, able to fit in around training and work, all efforts scored whatever your level. Great support from the community. Nice to do something different.
Andy Laws
The challenges was great, you could choose a level that suited you but still pushed you as you were trying to reach times and targets within your level. Would recommend this to anyone who is looking to push themselves that bit harder. The chat and motivation within the group was good and really helped push you along.
Graham Taylor
Tough as old boots but very rewarding challenges, go there, sign up, get out there, and get it done... !!! Seriously these are good guys
Rokman is for those with a deep desire to test and further their limits and live a healthier life with fortitude. Amidst time constraints of life, our challenges seamlessly integrate into busy schedules, promoting physical and mental strength alongside existing commitments.
We aim to bring a fresh and exciting twist to traditional race day events, sparking interest and boosting motivation. Drawing inspiration from the renowned Special Forces selection process, known for its rigorous tests of both physical and mental resilience, we offer you the opportunity to challenge yourself against the elite.
There's nothing "virtual" about our challenges. The struggle is very real. By taking inspiration by actual fitness tests, each challenge provides a grounded and comparable approach. With no race-day crowds to cheer you on, we provide a real and raw opportunity to test your limits.
We believe mental resilience is the cornerstone to achieving our true potential. By undertaking activities that push our limits we achieve greater psychological activation, increasing our mental resilience to stress and pressure, thus improving our health, wellbeing and overall quality of life.
Challenge yourself around your everyday life without the restrictions of fixed schedules, far-off travel, joining the military, fancy workout equipment, or extortionate entry-fees.

Can run up to 5km

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.
