UNITED STATES PARKOUR ASSOCIATION | COVID-19 RECOMMENDATIONS

COMPETITIONS AND EVENTS CONSIDERATIONS

Leaders should rely on a risk-based approach in planning and operating small or large gatherings, events, or competitions. United States Parkour Association has provided guidance on how organizers can take a risk-based approach from actions to preventing transmission between people to how events can be modified to make a safer environment.
