Activity of the Week: Free Running/Parkour


Free Running means challenging yourself to take on the urban landscape and win. Free Runners take running to a new level. The basic principle is that you don't let obstacles stop you from moving forward; be they buildings, bollards or fences. Remember those BBC ads with the guys in red tops running across the rooves of London? Good. Then you have a picture of free running. Invented by the French and known as Parkour to the experts and fans, Free Running is a cool if very dangerous activity and those involved work in groups training and testing out their skills together to result in minimal injury. Check out IrishPKInstructors on Facebook for details of Free Running classes and groups near you.
