The British Championships were the final race of the UK Elite O League 2019. The winners were Will Gardner and Megan Carter-Davies. Curiously the first five men were over 23, the first five women under 23. Prizes were presented at the relays.
The League tweeted a short video of some of the late starting men up on the moor as they started down to the last controls.
