About Healthy Taylorsville:
The Healthy Taylorsville Committee seeks to improve the health of Taylorsville residents by providing fun opportunities to be active as well as implementing policy change to improve the environment.
- Urban Iditarod: A shopping cart race in which teams of five people (one "musher" and four "dogs") tie themselves to a grocery store shopping cart and run or walk through the streets of a metropolitan area to different locations where they compete in "challenges". The race usually features people in costumes and themed floats/carts. The races are fun competitions where friendly sabotage, costume, and presentation are rewarded.
- Health Fair
