Attractions
With it anticipated that most competitors will be staying in or close to Sheffield, we want to provide some inspiration for attractions (indoor and outdoor, paid and free) that you might like to visit when you're not in O-kit!
Welcome to Sheffield's website is a great place to start: pages include Urban Areas to Explore, Top Attractions, and the dedicated Outdoor City page for all things outdoorsy and adventure!
Event: Park Hill Tours
We're pleased to offer JK25 competitors & supporters the chance to discover the architectural marvel that is Park Hill, a Grade II* listed building and a prominent feature of Sheffield's skyline for over six decades.
Delve into the rich history of this iconic structure, uncover its celebrated and hidden architectural gems, and gain a unique perspective on contemporary life within its walls with the chance to step inside a refurbished flat.
Exclusive tours for JK25 competitors & supporters will take place after the Sprint on Friday 18th April, starting at 16:00 and 18:00, with each tour lasting approximately 90 mins. Tickets are £10 and can be booked on Eventbrite. Public tours on Saturday 19th April at 10:30 and 13:30 may also be of interest to those not running the Middle, and can be booked here.
