Organiser's Description

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.
