The City of Tulsa, located in Northeast Oklahoma’s beautiful “green country”, established their community initiative in November 2008. Mayor Taylor envisioned a community of Tulsans enjoying the many parks and recreational areas of the greater Tulsa area while investing in their health by getting out and walking, running, biking, or swimming. With a plan to bring together people by forming new “groups”, the community would come together and track their miles to a goal of 1,000,000. The goal was reached! Over 150 groups have been formed and thousand of members have participated! The program will continue and continue to grow within the community.
