CMCC Backs in Motion 2026

On behalf of CMCC, thank you to everyone who helped make the 43^rd Annual Backs in Motion a truly unforgettable event! From runners and walkers to volunteers, fundraisers, sponsors, and supporters, your enthusiasm and spirit brought our community together in an inspiring way.

A Celebration of Movement, Community, and Purpose

Backs in Motion isn’t just a race – it’s a celebration of health, wellness, and the incredible work that CMCC does to advance chiropractic education, research, and patient care. This year, we were thrilled to host 264 participants across all events:

• 10 km Run: 89 participants
• 5 km Run: 104 participants
• 5 km Walk: 71 participants (plus five very enthusiastic four-legged companions trotted alongside!)
• + 62 VOLUNTEERS!

Whether you were chasing a personal best, enjoying a walk with family or pets, or cheering from the sidelines, you helped make this day truly special.
