What Genre?

What gets you through?? Rock, Pop, Dance or Urban? We asked everyone who entered Run to the Beat what they liked to listen to the most and those four genres came out on top. We have four stages on the course, each of which represents one of the above genres and the music inbetween them will get you going - they'll be something for everyone!

Below are some examples to get you thinking about genres, the bpm and the kind of playlist you could put together.  One way to do it is simply to type in the name of your favourite song and 'bpm' into a search engine and you can start building your playlist from there...
