Mayor Wants City To Shape Up

By The News On 6

TULSA, OK -- Mayor Kathy Taylor announced the new fitness initiative on Tuesday.  It's called Tulsa Million Miles.

The mayor is challenging people in Tulsa to log onto a new website called TulsaMillionMiles.com.  Users can log every mile they exercise, until the city reaches a million miles.

It's a plan Mayor Taylor says will help the city get healthy.

"We're going to try to get our community to shape up one mile at a time. Whether they walk or they bike or they ride or they swim.  We know that Tulsa has some serious health challenges, hypertension, heart-disease, diabetes, and being active can help minimize those risks," said Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor.
