How it all continues
A letter from our CEO
A letter from our CEO
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!
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.
