Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, Pedro Velus is another huge contributor to this Lisbon chapter of Apex Speed Run. With 5 courses completed, he won 4, pushed through 2 double-course days, and maintained an elite 98.47 player rating. To top things off, he also got 8 of his youth students to run 3 of the courses with us!

We’re honored by the genuine support of Apex Speed Run from the Lisbon parkour community—especially our MVP, Luís Alkmim, who shared countless spots, invited many others, helped set 13 courses, won 4, ran 9, & joined us 10 days in a row. With such a massive effort in a short time, Luís catapulted from unranked to the ASR top 10 faster than anyone in ASR history!

seems like the harder we try to put parkour inside of the box, the more it turns into something that it’s not

🏆 Best Lisbon Speed Run → Edson Miguel (14.12), Whale Tail Speed Run 🇵🇹 🔵 It was a treat to watch Edson solve this Apex Speed Run course at another famous Lisbon spot. The way he flows across the rails, thru the tree, & over the final gaps is 🤌 Located near a beautiful beach & calisthenics park, this course comes with 10/10 vibes. It’s also full of connections between rails & walls that are sure to entertain all levels & styles. If you’re in Lisbon, it’s worth the 30-minute journey from the city center!

As the Apex Speed Run all-time leader in course records (79) and course completions (83), Taylor Carpenter earned 11 of each in Lisbon. Impressively, she nabbed all 11 in just 9 consecutive days of course setting—a streak unmatched in ASR history so far!

Why we're raising $100k for Apex Speed Run through @juicebox 📈 Since 2004, we’ve lived and breathed parkour—training, competing, and coaching dozens of champions in parkour-based sports. This gave us a front-row seat to a recurring cycle: raw disciplines getting packaged, polished, and pulled away from their roots.

through Apex Speed Run, we’re pioneering a new idea known as DeSport, a decentralized sports network that reduces central control over rules, revenue, and more we’re addressing problems in traditional sports like high costs, limited access, and a lack of transparency that often exploits athletes, teams, or fans

with Apex Speed Run, we're bringing parkour back to its roots—outside, free, and for all. no special invites, fees, or gear. just you, the course, and the clock.

parkour is permissionless movement ⠀ walls, streets, sidewalks, & stairs are built to make you go a certain way ⠀ parkour gives you permission to go any way
