GOT THE NERVE? TRIATHLON - NEW DATE & NEW LOCATION!

SUNDAY, JUNE 22, 2025 | EPHRATA, PA | 7:30AM



IM ABLE has been hard at work ensuring that the GOT THE NERVE? TRIATHLON aligns with our mission removing obstacles that prevent people with disabilities from being physically active by providing grants and fitness opportunities.



As part of this commitment, weve made the difficult but necessary decision to MOVE THE RACE FROM MT. GRETNA TO EPHRATA, PA. We are incredibly grateful to the Mt. Gretna community for supporting this event for the past 20 years, helping us build a legacy of competition, camaraderie, and achievement for athletes of all abilities.



After extensive scouting and careful consideration, we have identified Ephrata, PA as the ideal location to better serve our growing community of adaptive athletes.

* The paratriathlete classification process determines who is eligible to compete in a Paralympic sport and it groups the eligible athletes in sport classes according to their activity limitation in a certain sport.
* These categories are for athletes that have a physical disability and wish to be eligible in a Paralympic sport. Select the link above for more the classifications.

* ADAPTIVE [https://runsignup.com/Race/GotTheNerveTriathlon/Page-22]:

* For athletes that are not able to be classified into Paratriathlon competition categories or choose not to do so.
* It is also open to athletes who choose not to race according to USA Triathlon or World Triathlon Paratriathlon rules, for example by choosing different equipment or racing with a guide of a different gender. Select the link above for more information about the adaptive categories.

* USAT PARATRIATHLON PRE-RACE CLINIC

* USAT-certified coaches, Laura Henry and Jackie Miller, will conduct a pre-race clinic for paratriathlon participants on Saturday and race-day support. This clinic will help all paratriathletes feel more comfortable and race ready for an overall great experience!

* NEED A GUIDE OR BUDDY?

* We have amazing volunteers who would be happy to swim, bike, and/or run with you! Volunteers will also help you to get in and out of the pool, help you transition from the pool to your bike, and whatever else you need. Please contact Becky Rennix at [email protected] for more information.
