Renfrewshire's Beat the Street competition generated a number of winners after thousands of people clocked up the miles.

The interactive game encouraged people of all ages to get moving and explore their surroundings in towns and villages across the area.

Running from September 10 to October 22, the free six-week Beat the Street challenge transformed Bridge of Weir, Elderslie, Houston, Howwood, Kilbarchan, Linwood, Johnstone and Lochwinnoch into a giant gameboard.

Thousands of people participated in the challenges by walking, cycling, wheeling, running and scooting around their communities.
