The British Downhill National Championships will be run this weekend, July 18-19, in Innerleithen, Scotland. A challenging track awaits the UK's finest downhill racers, and an impressive line-up, including some of the world's best, is slated to compete.

New for this year is the splitting of the Veterans and Masters categories, which means more total national champions to be awarded on Sunday.

The British Cross Country championships are also being run in Innerleithen this weekend. Both disciplines will hold finals on Sunday for a full weekend of top-notch racing.
