Beat the Street
Wallace Prep are delighted to be taking part in the latest craze 'Beat the Street.'
Beat the Street is a fun, free game for the communities of Northern Ireland to see how far you can walk, cycle and run around your area and into space. Beat the Street will be played across the Greater Metropolitan area of Belfast, including Lisburn, Castlereagh, Holywood and Newtownabbey.
Beat the Street will run from Wednesday 14 September - Wednesday 02 November 2016. Anyone living, working or who is going to school in Northern Ireland will be eligible to take part.
There are lots of prizes up for grabs for individuals and teams, so don't forget to register your Beat the Street card!
Every journey you make adds to your total and that of your team and the whole community.
How far can you go?
Head of Prep, Mr Lawther said, “This initiative from Tesco, Diabetes UK and The British Heart Foundation provides a great incentive for our pupils to get out and get active through walking, jogging or cycling. Not only will those participating be benefitting their chosen team, they will also be improving their own health and wellbeing. We know from experience that if we can encourage pupils to be active they are likely to stay active into adulthood. Not only will this directly benefit the person concerned it will also have positive benefits for society at large.”
