The 2019 took place in central Southern England from April 19th - 22nd.

• Friday was a World Ranking Sprint Race at Aldershot Garrison
• Saturday was a World Ranking Middle Distance Race at Old Windmill Hill
• Sunday was a Long Distance Race at Cold Ash
• Monday was the JK Relays, the biggest UK relays competition, at Minley.

The weather was exceptionally warm and dry, and everything about the competition was very good, except the results service and timing which were not up to it.

(It's late Tuesday evening now, and "All results are now under review and will be published as soon as they are validated.")
