About Parkour Earth
Parkour Earth is the international governing body for the connected group of disciplines of parkour, freerunning, and Art du Déplacement, referred to collectively as parkour for short.
At our core, we are a federation of national representative parkour organisations, which are governed by the community, for the community. In addition to these organisations from all over the world, we are working with countries without formal representation to support them in building authentic, community-led national organisations and networks.
We acknowledge that this membership structure, which is expected of international sports governance, will not suit every parkour community and so have a variety of other affiliation and support options.
Parkour Earth was founded in 2017 when six established national parkour organisations came together, marking the first time such a federation has been created in parkour. Since building that foundation, we have expanded our membership as Parkour Earth builds the means for true global collaboration and representation.
OUR VISION:
A connected and empowered global parkour community.
OUR GUIDING MISSION:

Nothing about you, without you
Audacity:
To create something unique despite the obstacles
