Welcome!

The Yorkshire and Humberside Orienteering Association are pleased to invite you to South Yorkshire over the 2025 Easter Weekend for the Jan Kjellström International Festival of Orienteering. 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.

Entries have now closed, and we look forward to welcoming all 2594 competitors to South Yorkshire for JK25 in a matter of days time!
