Jan Kjellström International Festival of Orienteering explained

The Jan Kjellström International Orienteering Festival or "JK" is the premier domestic orienteering competition in the United Kingdom along with the British Orienteering Championships, usually held over the Easter Weekend.

1967 saw the first JK event, held in memory of Jan Kjellström. The annual JK moved to Easter in 1969, and now regularly attracts a field of four thousand or more. The 1974 JK was the first British race to attract more than one thousand entrants.[1] The JK Trophy is awarded to the winning team in the Men's Premier relay class.[2]
