This will be the third edition of the Sheffield since its inception in 2023.
On Sept. 12, 2024, the final of four wildcard invitations was confirmed, completing the full rosters for both the Men’s and Women’s divisions. To qualify, athletes either secured 95% or more of their respective division’s total world record at the 2024 IPF World Classic Championships or received a wildcard invitation.
