BRADFORD is set to be transformed into a giant game this summer as thousands of residents compete to see if their school, community or business can walk, run or cycle the furthest.

Beat the Street is a free, fun challenge where people are rewarded with points and prizes for exploring their city on foot or bicycle.

More than 20 special sensors called ‘Beat Boxes’ will appear across the southern part of the city and be in place until July 19.

The wedge-shaped playing zone starts at Bradford City Library and covers the area inside the Wakefield Road up to Rooley Lane and back along Great Horton Road.

Players tap the Beat Boxes with cards and fobs to track their journey and earn points for themselves and their team.

Families are encouraged to play and can sign up at team.bradford@beatthestreet.me.
