JK 2026: Entries are officially open, and the early bird entry ends on 1 February 2026!

The Festival will, as usual, consist of three individual days of races, all of which are World Ranking Events for the elite, with the weekend culminating in the Relays on Easter Monday.  

The staging of the Sprint in the centre of Perth "The Fair City" also offers the opportunity to explore the city (for instance Perth Museum with the Stone of Destiny, or Scone Palace), before the competition moves into Highland Perthshire for the Middle, Long, and Relay races all close to the picturesque village of Kinloch Rannoch at the east end of Loch Rannoch.

The Middle and Long days take place at Rannoch Forest, with both days sharing the same finish arena. The Relay is a few miles further east at Tullochroisk in the shadow of Schiehallion mountain, particularly of interest to orienteers for its role in the invention of contours.

We do hope to offer TrailO as part of the weekend, and will confirm plans in this area shortly.
