Rutherglen and Cambuslang Beat the Street competition comes to an end

The hugely popular Beat the Street game has come to an end in Rutherglen and Cambuslang after a fantastic turnout.

Organisers have tallied up the points with the winners now revealed for the fun interactive game.

In total, Cambuslang and Rutherglen racked up 118,351 miles during the six-week challenge.

And the game saw 8535 people take part and together walked, cycled and wheeled around the towns for points and prizes.

It came to an end last Wednesday (October 27) with participants invited to take part in a fancy-dress silent disco at Cambuslang Park with a prize for the best dressed being awarded.

A huge congratulations to Burnside Primary who were crowned winners out of the schools who competed.

And the winners of the 'community and workplace teams' category were Grow 73.

Burnside Guides were the winners of the Small Teams and CM9 was named winner of the individual leaderboard.

The community also helped Kilbryde Hospice to a donation of £500.

The game has been a phenomenal success and proved to be a great way to boost locals' physical and mental wellbeing.

David Booth, of South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture, told us : “It’s amazing to see so many families out in their local community playing BTS!

"The game brings people together and it has a positive impact on the area so we are more than happy to offer our support to ensure local communities across South Lanarkshire can benefit from this opportunity.”

Council leader, Councillor John Ross, said the towns of Cambuslang and Rutherglen "have achieved something amazing".

He added: “Everyone who took part and has made positive lifestyle changes is a winner.

"We hope to be in touch with all participants to help carry on these great habits and to signpost other useful resources that will help with physical and mental health.

"Thanks to all who took part.”
