More than movement

Parkour is a creative, whole-body activity that can help develop balance, co-ordination, strength and agility. Learning new movements step by step can also build confidence, resilience and problem-solving skills.

Being active together makes the experience even more rewarding. It gives families a chance to connect, celebrate progress and create positive habits around physical activity. Regular movement can support health and fitness while helping to boost mood, energy and self-esteem.

The Right Worshipful Lord Mayor of Westminster, Councillor Karen Scarborough, got the day under way as starter for the first wave, while Councillors Robert Rigby and Ben Sewell were among those joining in and celebrating the occasion.

The Mall became the world’s biggest pyjama party as hundreds of children, parents and families tackled the mile in PJs, stripes and fleecy onesies. From toddlers in buggies to three generations crossing the line together, the day captured what this London 2012 legacy event is all about: making activity fun, accessible and inclusive.

The buzz continued at the free Vitality Wellness Festival in Green Park, with cricket, basketball, dance, martial arts, crafts and high-energy Guinness World Record challenges. Olympians Chris Thompson and Montell Douglas joined the fun, before Cameron Boyek won the men’s BMC Bannister Mile and Kate Axford equalled the women’s course record in 4:23.
