A series of sporting events and activities will be coming to Sheffield next month to celebrate the city’s outdoor culture.
The Festival of the Outdoors will take place throughout the whole of March, with a diverse programme ranging from climbing competitions to marathon running.
Originating as a single weekend, the festival returns for its fifth iteration, with events set to take place across the city.
The lineup includes the Climbing Works International Festival, a skateboard jam, inclusive cycling, orienteering, guided nature and historical walks, and a half marathon.
Graeme Alderson, Co-owner of the Climbing Works and organiser of the CWIF said: “It’s another big year for climbing with attention ramping up ahead of Paris 2024, so all eyes will be on the international athletes coming to Sheffield to take part in the CWIF in March.
