Mayor's Fitness Challenge

Getting Fit and Healthy for Life!

Let's get fit, Tulsa! The Mayor's Fitness Challenge (MFC) is a program led by Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor to encourage healthy lifestyles among Tulsans. But living a healthy life isn't just about losing weight. It's about making good decisions and forming healthy habits to last a lifetime.

Mayor's Fitness Challenge began in 2005 as an effort between Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Today, Mayor Taylor spearheads the Mayor's Fitness Challenge and is joined by 55 partners to encourage family centered healthy lifestyles.

The latest Mayor's Fitness Challenge initiative, Tulsa Million Miles, launched a brand-new Web site on October 21, 2008 to help Tulsans stay fit and active. TulsaMillionMiles.com will help users track the number of miles they walk, run, bike, or swim. Visitors to the site can also find maps of nearby parks and trails and learn more about upcoming activities like races and bike rides. Log on to TulsaMillionMiles.com now and start tracking your miles. Together, we can reach a million-and beyond!
