“Got the Nerve? Triathlon sparked my triathlon passion and provided the platform for me to pursue a professional career in triathlon. Born and raised in Lancaster, Mount Gretna has always been a site for endurance sports such as running and mountain biking. When Got the Nerve? Triathlon came onto the scene in 2004, it offered local triathletes with great season opener and the opportunity to race for something more than themselves by supporting the IM ABLE Foundation. Chris has done an exceptional job by providing a high quality race while maintaining a grass roots feeling of inclusivity, community, and camaraderie.” – Andrew Yoder, Yoder Performance
