Jan Kjellström International Festival of Orienteering 2025

The Jan Kjellström International Festival of Orienteering will be taking place in Sheffield over the 2025 Easter Weekend.

The Festival will, as usual, consist of three individual days of races, all of which are World Ranking Events, culminating in the Relays on Day 4. Additionally, Days 1 and 2 will see TrailO competitions taking place within a short distance of the main Arenas. In addition to the main orienteering races, JK25 will feature Festival Fun: a range of activities open to both competitors and spectators, including biathlon orienteering and a climbing wall!

With the Sprint in Sheffield City Centre, and the Middle & Long races only a few miles further north, competitors will be able to base themselves in or near Sheffield, with the option of using public transport to reach the events, and allowing time to explore the vibrant city of Sheffield and South Yorkshire's cultural gems. Whilst the Relays are on the southern fringes of Leeds, they can still be reached within an hour's drive from Sheffield, and are conveniently close to major transport links making for an easy homeward journey.
