The JK (Jan Kjellström Festival ) this year is in Northern Ireland. This 4 day event held every year over the Easter Holidays is Britain’s largest Orienteering event,2000+ runners, being a family friendly festival it normally attracts more than the British Championships. It is also a World Ranking Event this year so will attract quite a few foreign runners coming over both for the event and to enjoy the fantastic landscapes Northern Ireland has to offer.
This year will also be special for the Stodgell household as we will be running as a family relay team for the first time in the ad hoc category now Holly is 8.
I am running M35L and with sprints and sand dunes being my forte I am hoping for a good result, though my legs are still sore from last weekend’s efforts in Hungary.
I have also been asked to help with the commentary, so watch out MC Stodge will be on the microphone from time to time, including the prize giving it seems ! Please feel free to fall over on the run in or do something else to give me something to talk about.
