Parkour is a training discipline adapted from military obstacle course training where people attempt to move at high speed through an environment using only their bodies and surroundings as instruments to propel them in the direction they need to go.
It requires quick thinking and intense stamina. It involves running, climbing, swinging rolling, somersaults and much more as the Parkour expert makes their way through the urban jungle of cities.
It usually takes place in high rise council building areas in the suburbs where there are plenty of walls, steps, ledges and roof tops. It is a glorious expression of human movement and would be well worth seeing if you get the chance!
Sky running takes place in the mountains so any towns and villages near the Apuan Alps or the Apennines would be ideal spots for those taking part to stay, or even for those who just want to witness it up close and personal.
