The programme of each championship consists of one men's and one women's race, with prizes being available for individuals and national teams. Each country may enter up to six male athletes and five female athletes. A mixed-sex relay was introduced at the 2022 edition.

Bronze Alistair Blamire (Men, 1970), Ian Gilmour (Men, 1974), Robert Quinn (Men, 1992).
Ian Hamer (Wales) won Gold in 1990 while a student at Heriot-Watt University.
