Tulsa Million Miles Soars Past One Million Miles Goal - 1,006,930!
The City of Tulsa has had a goal of one million miles in its
sight for the past year and today, our efforts have paid off ... in
a big way! Mayor Kathy Taylor, joined by Tulsa Public School
children, City of Tulsa employees, and others made history by
completing 1,006,930 miles when they crossed the Tulsa Run finish
line. Tulsa is the only city in the country to collectively
accumulate one million miles of distance in a year's time.
Mayor Taylor said, "I am excited Tulsa met the challenge of
beginning to shape up one mile at a time, however this is just the
beginning of a continued challenge to improve the health of
Tulsans."
The Tulsan Million Miles initiative launched last October to
encourage Tulsans to run, walk, swim, and cycle their way to
becoming a healthier community. TulsaMillionMiles.com helps users
log their daily activity and provides upcoming events, races and
marathons, trail maps, nutrition tips, an iphone application, and
much more.
The Web site currently boasts 2,848 participants, averaging 354
miles per person. Mayor Taylor has logged 510.75 miles this past
year - last year she ran the 15K Tulsa Run as one of the celebrity
runners.
