Hi! My name is Dr. Karena Rother (please call me Karey), and I am the franchise owner and head coach of Hastings Moms on the Run!! I am a lifelong Hastings resident and have been a member of MOTR since 2012! I originally joined to meet new people and try to get back into shape after the birth of my 3rd child. They are 17, 16 and 14 now, and keep me busy as a taxicab and cheerleader. I am also a doctorally prepared psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) and have been an RN for more than 20 years. I know how important fitness is in improving both physical and mental well-being.
I love MOTR’s focus on fitness, fun, and friendship, and I am passionate about helping women feel better in all aspects of their lives. Although I am a proud back-of-the-pack runner, that doesn’t mean I don’t run hard and have fun! I have completed 3 Ragnar trails, the TC10 mile, multiple MOTR 5 and 10k’s, almost every Gobble Gait since 2012, and various other races around the area. As a certified fitness instructor (ACE) I can’t wait to meet and help others achieve their goals and work on a few of my own in the meantime!
I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone! Happy running!!
Coach Mandy: “I have been a member of Moms on the Run since the fall of 2015 and started volunteer coaching in 2021. Favorite distance: 10K. I joined MOTR because a friend posted a cute pic of running shoes on FB and asked if anyone needed an excuse to buy a new pair of shoes. That was all it took! I was the working mom of three young children and needed an outlet for myself to meet other women and to get accountability for working out, both of which I didn’t normally do confidently. I found so much more than I ever could have imagined.”
Get ready to give thanks (and planks!)
We’re thrilled to have you as part of our community. We appreciate you and are here to cheer you on every step of the way!
