Short: 29 August – Arnison Crag Horseshoe, England 

Medium: 14 March – Ras yr Aran, Wales (report) 

Long: 25 April - Seven Sevens, Northern Ireland (postponed - provisionally rescheduled for the 8 August)** & 1 August - Glenshee, Scotland (race cancelled) 

** Please note, it has been agreed by all parties that the Seven Sevens event will not be counted as a 'Championship' race.
