"The first
three years [of the Lake Lure Triathlon] saw the fastest
growth of any
triathlon I have ever been associated with in
my 22 years in the triathlon community.”

“The Hickory Nut Gorge Triathlon has always been my favorite
triathlon each year.
A very well run event, lots of
volunteers, a great finish on the beach and the most
beautiful
scenery in this part of the country!! You can't
ask for more than that!”

Ken Brown, 65, of Snellville, G.A. who participated in all three races in 2008.
“I had a great time in Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. The
events were fun and offered
me a challenge. Race management
was superior and volunteers were plentiful and very
helpful. I had an overwhelming ‘sense of community
togetherness’ the moment I got into town.
This was truly a
great three-day vacation for me. This past weekend will go
down as one of my best memories.”

“The thing I remember most
about the Hickory Nut
Gorge
Triathlon is being greeted,
directed, and
encouraged by
the nicest volunteers I've ever
encountered in a race. And
crossing the
finish
line on the
beach to the cheers of the
crowd
made me feel like I had
won the gold at Athens! I
can't wait to do it again!”
