Hit The Streets is a brand-new campaign by Free Radio to combat loneliness.

Launched on 1st March, we joined together and encouraged you to get out and join our daily live 30-minute run-along with our DJs, fellow Free Radio listeners and sport and music stars.

Listen back to every mix with upbeat running music, fitness advice from athletes and your messages of support!

The mix is available on the Free Radio app to listen to on-demand so you can pop your headphones on and get running with us, wherever you are and whenever you like.

We also teamed up with Start Fitness on our Hit The Streets campaign!

Founded by sport enthusiasts, Start Fitness prides itself on being different from your average sports retailer. Providing unbeatable offers on 1000s of products from many leading brands! Whether you want to start running, cycling or swimming, Start Fitness have got you covered.

You can also join our club on the Strava app to connect with other Hit The Streets runners!

Loneliness is a huge issue and can have a big impact on a person’s mental health. Many of us have felt feelings of loneliness, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic so everyone is welcome to join in on Hit The Streets and share their progress, feelings and thoughts.

Hit The Streets could be a great way to take part in a get active challenge for Cash for Kids and raise money for the charity.

You can find mental health support and advice at here.
