Why 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. 

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. We continue to work towards protecting the autonomy and integrity of parkour.  

Parkour Earth is a community-led federation with several community engagement initiatives. We work towards ensuring the integrity and authenticity of parkour and pride ourselves in proactively connecting and empowering the community. We insist on good governance, inclusion, and diversity by promoting open and responsive structures which develop parkour federations, participants, practice, and culture.   

We look forward to hearing from you!
