Beat The Street Is Back

Schools, community groups and workplaces can sign up for the keep fit challenge

The Beat the Street challenge is kicking off soon.

Running from 18 September to 30 October, Beat the Street challenges schools, workplaces and community groups to see how far they can walk, run or cycle over six weeks in return for points and prizes.

Cards and maps needed to join the game are now available to pick up for free in distribution points. Participants can pick up cards at:

Chiswick Library
New Chiswick Pool

Players tap contactless cards or key fobs against Beat Boxes on lampposts to track their journey and earn points for their team. At the end of the game, the teams that top the leaderboards can win hundreds of pounds worth of prizes.

Additionally, primary schools will be handing out key fobs, cards and maps to families so that they can play and join their school team once the game kicks off on Wednesday 18 September.

Workplaces, community groups and sports clubs are also being encouraged to enter a team into the competition – there is no cost to participating, just email team.hounslow@beatthestreet.me, pick up a card, register online and get tapping.

Beat the Street is delivered by Intelligent Health on behalf of the Hounslow Council.

Cllr Katherine Dunne, Cabinet Member for Communities and Workforce said: “Beat the Street is only one week away so make sure you pick up a card and map so that you’re ready to start earning points for your chosen school or team straight away. We’ve held Beat the Street games across the area several times in the past few years and they have always been enthusiastically supported.

“We’ve already seen lots of excitement ahead of the game kicking off with primary schools ready to compete to see who can walk, run or cycle the furthest. There are also lots of workplaces and teams signing up to play so if you fancy getting active then why not sign up for the game?”
