From Hot Springs Village Property Owners' Association:

HOT SPRINGS VILLAGE - The 2nd annual Sprint Triathlon, TRI-the-Village, is scheduled for Saturday, May 18. This USAT sanctioned event includes a 500-yard swim in Lake Balboa, a 13.5-mile cycle course over rolling terrain and ends with a 3.5-mile run.

"This event is a great opportunity to showcase the Village to folks who haven't had a reason to visit before now," said Katherine Winslow, Volunteer Coordinator for the event. The event is open to resident and non-residents alike.

Registration and management of the event is handled by DLT Event Management, Inc., of Arkadelphia with support from and in benefit of Teen Challenge of Arkansas, a non-profit organization whose purpose is to help men 18 and older with life-controlling problems. DLT Event Management, Inc., manages both on-road and off-road events across the state.

A resident suffered injuries from a fire at 116 Chelle Street off Winans Street Thursday evening.

The fire was reported a little after 6pm and was put out quickly by Hot Springs firefighters but a 31 year old man at the house suffered smoke inhalation and was having severe breathing problems. He was transported by Lifenet to Mercy Hospital.
