Tulsa Million Miles Kicks Off a Year of Fitness
Moving in a healthy direction is a resolution that Mayor Kathy Taylor has set for herself and all Tulsans. By joining together and making health a top priority, Tulsans can become fit and healthy for life. As an added bonus, we can achieve our goal of walking, running, biking, and swimming one million miles, or more as a city!
Tulsa Million Miles, a new Mayor’s Fitness Challenge initiative, is kicking off the new year with an exciting event featuring music, games, and fun for all ages! So load up the family and join us Friday, January 2, 2009, from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Hicks Recreation Center, 3443 S. Mingo Rd. for the following fun-filled activities:
