The Garage Games

Great Lakes Challenge

Great Lakes Challenge

Erie PA - June 2nd

The Great Lakes Challenge is bringing the Garage Games to the Western edge of the Northeast, and the Eastern edge of the Midwest. Yes! This event counts for both regions! Competitors, this event is going to be an opportunity to blend people who are fighting for top position in either region. The Great Lakes Challenge is an individual CrossFit competition with 2 divisions - RXD Division

The Great Lakes Challenge is a ONE-day CrossFit Garage Games event where the “Winner Takes All”!   Competitors will compete in 3 grueling WODs throughout the day, earning points along the way.  At the end of the three rounds, scores are tabulated and the top five male & top five female competitors in the RXD division will earn a spot to compete in a truly badass championship WOD.

Once you earn your place in the Finale WOD, all scores are reset and the top five men and women will battle it out for cash, prizes and glory and the title of Great Lakes Challenge Champion!  Sign up, come out and see where you stand.  Can you make it into the top five?

Scaled Division:  We will also be placing the top 3 men & top 3 women in the Scaled Division after 3 events.  There is no finale WOD in the Scaled Division.  All WODs can be scaled down from the standard scale; however you will be out of the race for placing in scaled division if you scale the scale.
