After a year of uncertainty, 2021 was the year the light started to shine again, and for our Stroller Warriors® community, it meant a long-anticipated return to in-person runs with our people. The running world began resuming in-person events and our members were hungry to restart training and running races with friends!
Throughout 2021, our Stroller Warriors members continually demonstrated their enduring dedication and resilient fortitude— eagerly organizing weekly in-person meetups and pivoting to virtual workouts if needed; creating chapter challenges to keep members engaged; bringing back the C25K sessions to unite members old and new, and; committing to local and military charity outreach by organizing events with no-contact porch pick-up options.
Stroller Warriors is managed and operated by a committed all-volunteer force that strongly believes in the Stroller Warriors mission of creating happy and healthy military families through running. Thank you to our volunteers and members for your selfless and endless efforts to make these 2021 Stroller Warriors by the numbers possible.
