Ready to move, explore, and challenge yourself?
The City Speed Challenge is an opportunity to experience parkour the way it was meant to be- out in the real world, alongside a supportive community, and with space to test your limits at your own pace.
This event isn’t just about speed or rankings. It’s about stepping outside your comfort zone, learning how you respond under pressure, and discovering just what you’re capable of. Whether you’re brand new to parkour or have years of experience, you’ll be encouraged to try, refine, and grow- supported by others doing the same.
Parkour began in the streets and public spaces of the urban environment, not inside fancy gyms or on custom built setups, and this event brings it back to its roots. You’ll take on a series of outdoor movement challenges using the everyday environment- walls, rails, stairs, and obstacles- reimagined as creative routes that reward adaptability, control, and flow. You’ll have multiple chances to approach each course, experiment, and improve, making the experience just as much about learning as it is about performance.
We’ll also be introducing a collaborative team relay, where small groups work together to navigate a longer course. It’s a chance to connect, strategize, and share the experience- highlighting the community spirit that defines parkour.
This event is open to ages 4-70+, with no prior experience required. Our goal is to create an inclusive, welcoming space where people of all backgrounds can come together, challenge themselves, and support one another.
