British Sprint Weekend 2026

The weekend 27-28 June was the British Sprint Relay and British Sprint Championships, organised by Bristol Orienteering Klub.

Relays

The British Sprint Relay Championships were held at the University of Bristol North Campus. SLOW fielded 6 teams: 2 Elite, 1 Veteran, 2 Ultra Veteran (one non-competitive), 1 Ad Hoc. Fortunately everyone successfully made it despite public transport problems doing its best to throw a spanner in the works!

Our Ultra Vet team won a superb silver, continuing the streak of winning a medal in this class since 2019.

Our Elite classes were 10th and 26th, Vet 8th and Ad Hoc 24th.
