Parkour Earth sets first world championships for Brno in 2026
Brno will host Parkour Earth’s first world championships Oct. 28-Nov. 1, with Speed, Skill and Style plus four qualification routes into the field.
Parkour Earth is sending its first world championships to Brno, Czech Republic, where the federation will stage a five-day event from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, 2026 at InMotion Academy with the Czech Parkour Association. The meet will run across Speed, Skill and Style, giving the sport’s new global championship a full three-format identity from the start.
That structure matters because Parkour Earth is not building Brno as a one-off title event. The federation says the championships will include a city-based showcase alongside the competition program, a format meant to put the sport in front of a wider public while still crowning world champions in its core disciplines. Parkour Earth has also positioned the Brno event as the first Parkour Earth World Championships, a clear marker that this is the opening piece of its independent championship system.
The path into Brno runs through four routes: national federations, international qualifying events, wild card video submissions and the Skill Takeover. Parkour Earth had already published a qualification calendar and a qualified-athletes page listing athletes as of June 17, 2026, showing the field was being built months before the championships. The final open door comes one day before the main event, with Skill Takeover - Brno 2026 scheduled for Oct. 27 at InMotion Academy.
Parkour Earth’s 2026 Unified Guidelines for Parkour Competitions add the other half of the picture. The 32-page framework covers Speed, Skill and Style with a unified judging system, landing standards, course design principles, safety standards and organizer guidance. Parkour Earth says the guidelines will evolve annually through community feedback, a detail that places Brno inside a rule set that is still being shaped but already formalized enough to support a world championship.
National bodies are already treating Brno as a meaningful target. The United States Parkour Association said its June 26-28 national championships at HUB Parkour Training Center in Sudbury, Massachusetts, would qualify up to three podium athletes for Parkour Earth’s world championships, and that event also scheduled Speed, Skill and Style. In Europe, the Österreichischer Parkour & Freerunning Verband said it had joined Parkour Earth and was discussing qualification for the 2026 world championships, another sign that the Brno meet is becoming a reference point for federation alignment as well as competition.
