The city of Newcastle is set to make history this October by hosting the first-ever National Parkour Gathering.
Over 200 experienced parkour participants from across Australia, Singapore and Germany are expected to descend on the city for the event.
Organized by Newcastle Parkour in collaboration with local businesses it’s the first time an event of this kind has received official council support, highlighting its importance in legitimising parkour as both a sport and an art form.
The event promises to have a solid emphasis on promoting active lifestyles and ensuring the safety and well-being of all participants through comprehensive training and injury prevention workshops.
Designed to cater to both seasoned parkour practitioners and newcomers, the event will offer a variety of workshops, including sessions on injury prevention, instructor training, and weightlifting.
The National Parkour Gathering kicks off on Saturday 5 October. For more information visit newcastleparkour.com.
