Street Tag launches in Corby this January, inviting schools and families to get active together
The countdown is on for schools, teachers and families in Corby as a new community initiative launches on the 26th of January, turning everyday movement into a fun and rewarding challenge, and it’s free to play.
Street Tag is a family-friendly mobile app that rewards individuals and teams for being active every day. Participants earn points by walking, cycling, running or rolling to and from places, collecting virtual tags in the local area.
Tags can be found along school routes, in parks, at community events and near local shops, encouraging people of all ages to explore more of Corby while keeping active. Each tag collected adds to a team’s total, with points tracked on a live leaderboard where schools can see how they are doing and celebrate their progress.
Up to 250 participants can represent a school team, and anyone connected to the school can take part, including parents, carers, grandparents, teachers and other school staff. This makes Street Tag a unique opportunity for families to work together to stay active, support their local school and enjoy friendly competition.
Street Tag turns Corby into a giant virtual playground, promoting movement and exploration across the town’s parks, footpaths and public spaces. Whether people are travelling to school, walking the dog or heading to the shops, every journey becomes an opportunity to collect points and contribute to their school’s total.
Natalie Lawrence, Strategic Director for Children and Young People at Northamptonshire Sport, said:
“We’re delighted to see Street Tag launching in Corby. The initiative is an exciting and inclusive way for children, families and schools to be active together. By making movement part of everyday life, Street Tag supports healthier, happier communities. If you’re a school, please sign up and join the fun!”
Seun Oshinaike, founder of Street Tag, said: “It’s great to be working with schools in Corby, helping families and communities get physically active in a fun, sustainable and accessible way. Street Tag offers a highly engaging experience, giving people the chance to take part, support their chosen school and win prizes using their smartphones.”
