The countdown to SPL4 – the Parkour World Championship – is officially underway. With both the UK and European qualifiers at Project Underground and HAL 5 now complete, the first wave of elite athletes have secured their spots to compete in Vancouver this August, setting the stage for an electrifying showdown.

Backed by a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised £75,000, and helmed by the CEO of Hole in the Sleeve Game Studios, Dado, Storror Parkour Pro is set to be a landmark title in the world of sports videogames.

Over the last year Parkour UK has been listening to the views of our community and wider stakeholders. With this insight we have created a future strategy. Here is the latest version and an opportunity to tell us what you think.

Earlier this month, JD Sports took an interest in Parkour to promote their Technical Spring/summer campaign. Several members of the performance team from the fantastic Street Monkeys Academy in Preston were enlisted for the shoot.
