Charity We Can Move is launching street tag in Gloucester this October 2024.

The innovative, app-based physical activity program, supported by Active Gloucestershire, is designed to motivate families to lead more active lives, exploring and connecting with the local community.

By transforming the city into a virtual playground, users earn points by walking, running, cycling, scooting or rolling in their wheelchairs to collect tags strategically placed throughout Gloucester.

Street tag points help players compete on the leader board, climb up the rankings, and win prizes during each active season.

The first season runs from Tuesday 1 October to Wednesday 27 November 2024 and participation is completely free.

With the aim of reconnecting families with local facilities, street tag rewards active travel and local exploration.

Bringing a gamified approach to fitness that motivates parents and children to stay active it also promotes the achievement of the recommended 60 daily active minutes.

Fostering teamwork and a healthy competitive spirit among participants, it's hoped plenty of families will join in the fun.

Download the street tag app and sign up to be ready to go when the season starts.
