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.
