You can play as an individual or as part of team. We HIGHLY recommend you play as a team! Not only is it more fun but you are more likely to win if you play as a team as your group’s points will add up much quicker!
You can join an existing team or create your own. Most schools have already registered their teams and as parents you can join their teams to help their school.
Or why not create a team for your workplace, or a community group or even for your group of friends?
The WBRA even has it’s own team! If you’d like to join our team simply choose it from the dropdown list of teams! We’d love to have you. Please note, if we were to win (ehem!) we would donate any prizes to local charities or community groups.
Why play Beat the Street?
Beat the Street makes 3 step changes:
- For the environment: Reducing an area’s carbon footprint. In 2022 and 2023, Beat the Street players travelled approximately 2.7 million miles – that’s 5.6 times to the moon and back! That’s carbon saving of 712.20 tonnes of CO2 if those journeys had been taken by car.
- For our health: Being active is good for our mental and physical health and every step counts. Walking boosts mood, health and immunity even reducing susceptibility to viruses including COVID-19. Adults are recommended to do 150 minutes a week.
- For our community: Being part of a community improves wellbeing, increases feelings of safety and reduces isolation. People who play Beat the Street say it helps them learn more about where they live and connect with other residents.
