WINONA LAKE – A town in Haiti, the trails of Winona Lake and athletic competition are all part of a very special event this weekend.
Grace College will host and sponsor The Lake Games today and Saturday to benefit Heart Soul Mind Strength (HSMS), a non-profit organization dedicated to providing food, shelter, education and jobs to people in Jeremie, Haiti.
The Lake Games will begin with an obstacle course competition on Friday, at 7:30 p.m. starting at the Grace College Gordon Recreation Center.
A CrossFit competition will take place Saturday morning, followed by a mountain bike race and trail run.
Participants may sign up for any or all four events; those who register for all four will compete to become the Ultimate Challenger and take home $1,000 in prize money.
The Lake Games will also feature a coed, four-on-four grass volleyball tournament on Saturday morning at Beta Field on the Grace College Campus. Participants may choose the recreational division or the “A” league. Total cash and prizes for The Lake Games are valued at more than $10,000.
All proceeds from The Lake Games will benefit HSMS.
Individual registration fees range from $20 to $35 per event, with discounts available for multi-event registration.
