Do
you remember playing tag on the playground when you were a kid? Well, now they have taken that game of
elusiveness, pumped it up on steroids, and made it into a sport. It’s called World Chase Tag, and it’s a
combination of tag and parkour. Two
teams of four people send one person onto the floor at a time. One of them is the chaser, and one of them is
the evader. The chaser has 20 seconds to
try to catch the evader as he runs around the course. But the catch is that the course is littered
with parkour obstacles. Ramps,
platforms, bridges, pipes…all kinds of things that the evader can use to jump,
slide, swing, and dodge behind while he runs out the clock. If the chaser manages to tag the evader before
the time is up, then his team gets a point.
If the evader can stay one step ahead of him, then his team gets a
point.
Playground
games are no longer just for kids. They
are now extreme! Tag, you’re it!
