By Laura Johnson Other than the appearance of Cooper-Young 4 Miler runner Richard Coletta, a lot has changed since the first race in 1992.

This post is pretty much just for me. I doubt anyone reading here would know the word parkour to be asking about it but odds are if you work in an office then someone has sent you a video of people doing crazy climbing and stunts.
