Freerunning supports drug addiction fighting campaign in the UK

[Bay Area Parkour]

Freerunning marks the latest phase of the Scottish Government's 2010 Know the Score campaign, which raises awareness amongst Scotland's young people of the dangers of using cocaine, and empowering them to make positive choices in their lives.

The increasing popularity of freerunning demonstrates one such activity, which many young people are enjoying.

 

Young people in Scotland are being offered the chance to have a go at 'freerunning' free of charge, as part of a series of events taking place across the country.

 

At each of these events, 30 young Scots aged 16 to 25 will get the chance to try out freerunning (also known as parkour), a non-competitive sport that combines physical strength and endurance with critical thinking with the purpose of moving through any environment regardless of obstacles.
