How it all continues
A letter from our CEO
A letter from our CEO
Hello! I am Jessica Berlin, the current CEO of Stroller Warriors Running Club. I was born and raised in a small town in Southeast Alabama with my parents, sister and two brothers. I attended college at Auburn University and graduated with a Bachelors degree from Troy University. Upon graduation, I worked for Regions Bank in Birmingham, AL for many years before moving back to Enterprise for graduate school. It was during this time that I met my amazing husband, Craig. We have 2 children: Blake and Kaleb. Outside of running I enjoy spending time with my family and graphic designing.
My Stroller Warriors life began in 2015 with the Pearl Harbor Chapter. I jumped into the C25K program in January 2016 and never looked back. I volunteered as a B210K leader and helped lead month long challenges before moving to Texas in 2017. Payge B had just founded Stroller Warriors Elsewhere and I was so excited to have them to continue to hold me accountable to my goals. I became a Chapter Coordinator for SW Elsewhere in February 2018 where I enjoyed motivating Warriors around the World until our move to Maryland. I jumped right into being a part of Stroller Warriors Fort Meade after our move and became a coordinator in March 2021. I have been a part of the SW Headquarters team since 2022.
I consider myself a Stroller Warrior success story. Growing up I did not enjoy running. I was forced to run during PE, cheerleading, tennis and danceline. During college I started trying to like running. Stroller Warriors changed all of that for me and I now love running. I love the stress release it brings. I love the fast friendships I can make. I love to set goals and conquer them! Since joining Stroller Warriors, I have run 5ks, 10ks, half marathons, marathons, 50k, and attempted a 50 miler.
I now cannot imagine my life without running and without having Stroller Warriors as a BIG part! I have made so many amazing friends thanks to this organization and I cannot say enough about the wonderful members we have that volunteer their time around the world to help share the Stroller Warriors mission with others.
I am excited to help Stroller Warriors grow as we expand to bases around the globe helping more military spouses find their love of running and giving them a home away from home.
HAPPY RUNNING!

Hello! I am Kelly Mulder, the current CEO of Stroller Warriors Running Club. I am a native of NE Washington, DC where I grew up with my parents, five sisters and one brother. I attended college at James Madison University and graduate school at Marymount University. I worked for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in Alexandria, VA for many years before my handsome Marine swept me away for a life full of adventure. I have the most amazing husband, Garrett, and we have 4 children: Nora, Asher, Tori, and Keegan. Outside of running I enjoy sewing, reading and strength training.
My Stroller Warriors life began in 2010 shortly after Stephanie Geraghty founded Stroller Warriors. I got to know Stephanie well at SW Camp Lejeune and she became my running mentor, confidant and friend. When I moved to Okinawa, Japan Stephanie let me take Stroller Warriors with me. I founded and Coordinated Stroller Warriors Okinawa for 3 years. Since then I have been a part of Stroller Warriors Monterey as a workout leader and founded Stroller Warriors Quantico. I have been a member of the SW Headquarters team since 2014. I also manage the Stroller Warrior blog.
I consider myself a Stroller Warrior success story. While I have always been an athlete, I used to abhor running. I purposely picked positions in the sports I played that had the least amount of running. I was the sweeper for soccer and the catcher for softball. My other big sports were swimming, tennis, and volleyball, which had little to no running. Stroller Warriors changed all of that for me and I now love running. I love the stress release it brings. I love the fast friendships I can make. I love to set goals and conquer them! Since joining Stroller Warriors I have ran my first 5k, 10k, half marathon, marathon, 50k, and 50 miler.
Not only do I love running, I love my Stroller Warriors life! I have met the most amazing spouses through Stroller Warriors; spouses who continually motivate and inspire me. I know my life would be drastically different had I not met Stephanie Geraghty and become a part of Stroller Warriors. The world is a better place because of Stroller Warriors and I intend to help keep it that way!
Happy Running,
Kelly Mulder
