From the AD-

 

When Goin’ Rogue began running games in 2023, we wanted to prioritize the experience for the athletes. I'm an athlete, and I know the typical game experience. I don't want my athletes to have to show up, fill out forms, help set up equipment, and do everything else I should have finished as the AD. When I began running a game at Wood Ridge Farm Brewery, I knew I'd had found an amazing venue that wanted this to succeed as much as I do.

​

I believe we have taken some great steps towards accomplishing this. Nonetheless, there is more work to be done. Cash prizes, cool trophies and good competition are the first steps to making this happen.

 

​

 

The Mission:

-Give athletes the best place to come out and do what they have been training for: throwing far and high. 

-Get more athletes into the sport and attract higher caliber athletes from other sports.

 

 

 

The Result: 

Athletes at the 2025 Wood Ridge Farm Celtic Festival threw over 80 personal records. Our Championship flight accounted for 14 of those. Multiple championship athletes threw over 100 ft. in the hammers and 36 ft. in the sheaf toss. We've created a fantastic environment for athletes to showcase their abilities. 

 

I hope this elevates the sport as a whole. A rising tide raises all ships.

 

​

Goin’ Rogue will be inviting the top 2 amateur men and women from PA, MD, VA, NC, SC, TN, GA, as well as the top 2 placing amateurs from last year's Wood Ridge Farm Highland Games to compete at these games on September 19, 2026. As of right now, there is over $900 on the line for total Championship payouts. Until then, we will continue working to provide bigger and better reasons for these athletes to bring their best.

 

There's more work to be done. But I am grateful for the work.
