Tulsa Million Miles Completes 1,006,930 Miles!

Last October the Mayor's Office implemented a new health and fitness initiative, Tulsa Million Miles, which challenged Tulsans to collectively come together and walk, run, bike, and swim one million miles in a year. Tulsans soared past that goal at last week's Tulsa Run by completing 1,006,930 miles. Mayor Taylor said, "We made a difference this year and we're going to keep on shaping up Tulsa, one mile at a time!"
