Beat the Street Renfrewshire concludes on Wed 22nd October – one more week to walk, cycle, run, scoot and wheel for prizes!

Final chance to play Beat the Street Renfrewshire!

The final push for points has started as Beat the Street Renfrewshire, the giant active travel game taking place across Bridge of Weir, Elderslie, Houston, Howwood, Kilbarchan, Linwood, Johnstone, and Lochwinnoch, draws to a close.

Since the game launched on September 10, thousands of participants have been racking up points by walking, cycling, wheeling, running and scooting between checkpoints known as Beat Boxes, while discovering more of their local neighbourhoods and connecting with their communities in fun and active ways.

From now until the end of the game on Wednesday, 22nd October is the game’s ‘Go Celebrate’ week where every Beat Box in the game will be giving out double points. At 7pm on the last day, the leaderboards will be taken down and the winners announced shortly after the competition.

More than 6,500 people are taking part, collectively travelling more than 55,000 miles throughout the competition so far.

Currently, Fordbank Primary School tops the total points leaderboard, with Houston Primary School and Bridge of Weir Primary School in second and third place. On the average points leaderboard, Riverbrae Primary School is top with Active Communities in second place and Auchenlodment ELCC in third position.

Councillor Michelle Campbell, Convener of Renfrewshire Council’s Infrastructure, Land and Environment Policy Board, said: “The past few weeks have flown by, and it’s been inspiring to see so many people across Renfrewshire embracing Beat the Street. There’s still time to make a final push up the leaderboards before the game wraps up!

“But this isn’t just about points—it’s about creating lasting change. As the game ends, we’ll continue working with local communities to turn these healthy habits into everyday routines. Encouraging walking, cycling, and wheeling not only improves our health and wellbeing, but also plays a vital role in reducing carbon emissions and building a more sustainable Renfrewshire.

“We’re committed to building on this momentum by collaborating with local stakeholders and groups to keep Renfrewshire moving every day.”

Beat the Street Renfrewshire has been commissioned by Renfrewshire Council and funded by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT). It is being delivered by Intelligent Health.
