What is Beat the Street?

Beat the Street is a fun, free and all-inclusive exercise game that aims to get the local community active. The game works by collecting Beat the Streets cards and maps available at local distribution points, scanning your Beat the Street card on sensors called beat boxes, which are located throughout Wigston and South Wigston and scoring points for yourself or your team. There is the opportunity to win some great prizes! In order to score points, you must scan your card on one beat box and then walk, cycle, or run to the next one, which will score you ten points and so on.
