Meredith Kessler

Meredith grew up in Columbus, Ohio, where she was a four-sport athlete and was inducted into her high school’s Athletic Hall of Fame. After entering a full Ironman in 2000, she caught the spirit of Ironman competition and hasn’t looked back. Since that first Ironman, Meredith has competed in over 50 full Ironman races all over the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.

Meredith takes pride in being the best wife—to high school sweetheart Aaron Kessler—the best daughter, sister, friend, and mentor that she can possibly be every day. Her family and friends are paramount, and their support helps fuel her energies to compete at such an elite level and as a Red Bull athlete. Meredith has always enjoyed helping others, which is why she and her husband developed the Life of a Triathlete manuals and resources. The objective is to help individuals reach their athletic goals faster than they would on their own, in the sport of triathlon. Her latest project is Play2Health, where their motto is "The Parents' Toolbox: Education Starts at Home."
