Beat the Street is returning for a second year and will see people race across the city to complete miles, collect points and win prizes. A total of 27,000 people took part in 2016.

Community groups, businesses and schools will be competing against each other to win a share of £4,000 worth of prizes and players will also be able to support a charity too.

Players collect points and miles over seven weeks by swiping their game card against two or more of the 191 special sensors, called Beat Boxes on lampposts.
