On the Rock Creek Park Parcourse
AMERICA’S NEW OUTDOOR FITNESS SPORT IS FOR EVERYONE. Join the millions of participants who enjoy Parcourse regularly to maintain overall physical fitness and good health.
Parcourse consists of a series of fitness stations (where you perform specific exercises) which are spaced along a jogging and walking path in this area, as you can see from the Parcourse map. Simply follow the WALK or JOG direction signs to each fitness station until you reach the FINISH sign at the end of the Parcourse.
As the name Parcourse implies there is a recommended “Par” or number of repetitions suggested on each sign for each of three different “fitness levels.” As you select your fitness level — Starting Par, Sporting Par, or Championship Par — remember that the Par merely represents recommended goals, based on you own physical condition.
YOU CAN CHALLENGE YOURSELF.
Good Luck & Good Health
