Beat The Street is coming to Loughborough!
Loughborough is set to be transformed into a giant game as Beat the Street returns to Charnwood.
Beat the Street is now coming to Loughborough and will take place from March 2 to March 30 thanks to a National Lottery grant from Sport England. It will be delivered by Active Charnwood, the sport and physical activity team at Charnwood Borough Council, Active Together and the South Charnwood Sport & Physical Activity Network.
The game encourages people to get outside, get active and is open to anyone of any age. It works by turning an area into a real-life game and residents will soon start to see special sensors called Beat Boxes appearing on lampposts across Loughborough.
“The game is free to play and encourage everyone regardless of age, ability or background to get involved as it is such an inclusive game.
“The more you travel to the different beatboxes, the more points your team will receive and there are some brilliant prizes to enjoy”.
Prior to the game, primary school pupils from participating schools will be provided with fobs, while parents and teachers will receive a fob from the school so they can accompany children. The wider community can register to play and pick up a free fob from a distribution point listed on the website www.beatthestreet.me/loughborough .
Fobs will be available week commencing February 21.
