In 2024, the annual Jan Kjellström (JK) International Festival of Orienteering will be staged jointly by the West Midlands OA (WMOA) and the East Midlands OA (EMOA) over the Easter weekend (29th March - 1st April). It is now expected that there will only be a TrailO competition on Day 1, Friday 29th March, at Loughborough University. There is no suitable location adjacent to the event centre for Days 2 and 3 and there are significant restrictions on the times cars may enter and leave the site. This makes it impossible for someone competing in the Day 2 or 3 events to also compete in a TrailO event at another location Arrangements have not yet been finalised for Day 4 (the Relay day) and it may be possible to provide some TrailO activitiy close to the Day 4 event. Further details will be added when available.
4th February: The Day 1 event has been confirmed and will be a PreO in urban terrain. Course length, subject to final checking, will be 1.5km with a timed AZ section for tie break. The start will be adjacent to main FootO Sprint assembly. An application for the course to be part of the British TrailO League has been made (BriTOL). The course planner is Peter Hornsby and course checker is Iain Phillips (both of LEI).'
