We are collaborating with Performance Chiropractic and Fleet Feet to host a 100 Mile Challenge and commit to logging 100 miles of intentional movement in January — walk, run, XC ski, snowshoe, bike, treadmill... it all counts!

This is your challenge — do it solo or grab a friend and make it social. We’ll be sharing encouragement, tracking tips, and fun ways to stay motivated all month long.

Say yes to movement, community, and a strong start to 2026!
