General Information

 

Accessibility

We are keen to welcome everyone to JK25, whether competing or just spectating, and this includes those who require certain additional accessibility arrangements to be made.

An accessible level-access toilet will be provided at every Arena. Anyone requiring Priority Parking should contact Day Organisers via the Contact Form to make specific arrangements.

Any further special arrangements - for instance, specific start arrangements or map printing requirements - may be discussed with the JK Coordinator (via a 'General Enquiry' on the Contact Form).

Traders & Catering

There will be various opportunities for some retail therapy over the weekend. Compass Point will be in attendance on all 4 days for emergency purchases and all orienteering equipment.

There are plenty of food outlets (cafes, supermarkets etc.) close to the Day 1 Arena, thus there won't be any additional event food traders. On Days 2, 3 and 4, hot food will be available as usual from Podium Catering and Tom's Food Wagon. In addition, a local Sheffield company, Proove, will be offering their award-winning authentic Neapolitan pizza. Their hand-stretched dough is slow-proved for 20 hours, before topped with the finest ingredients and cooked to perfection!

For those in search of something sweet, or needing to cool off after being out in the April sun, Yorkshire Dales Ice Cream will also attend Days 2, 3 and 4.
