More than 11,000 people signed up for Wokingham Borough's Beat the Street initiative in its first week alone.

The community game, which is designed to get everyone more active by exploring Wokingham Borough, is back again - and it's already bigger and better than before.

As well as covering more areas, mostly those where the council wants to improve air quality, this year's number of players is almost double the 6,200 who took part last time.

They've already walked, wheeled or cycled 42,000 miles, which is close to two laps of the Equator, and are hopefully on track to smash the previous record of 151,000 miles.

Beat the Street is free to enter and open to all ages and abilities, so everyone is encouraged to take part before it finishes on Wednesday, July 17.

Players compete for points by tapping a special contactless card on "Beat Boxes" at more than 100 locations across Wokingham town, Winnersh, Woodley, Twyford, Finchampstead, Arborfield, Hurst and Wargrave.

The boxes are attached to lampposts or other street furniture, and people can either walk between them or use other types of healthy, sustainable travel like cycling.

Players can join a school, community, family or workplace team and a range of prizes are on offer - as well as the chance to enjoy some fun competition and top the local leaderboards.

It's run by Intelligent Health, based in Reading, in partnership with the council's My Journey Wokingham team, and funded by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
