JWOC 2026: Long Results

1 July 2026

International orienteering descended on the forest of Augerum for the Junior World Orienteering Championships Long Race today. Here are the results.

Today's courses were very technically and physically challenging.

GB's best performances came from Ruth Gooch in 31st, Finn Selmer Duguid in 17th and James Hammond in 24th.

Ruth summed up her performance, "I was pleased with my run and was happy with the controls. I approached cautiously, but there were a few that I felt were a bit scrappy".

Finn reflected," It was a good run. I found the course quite challenging because it was so long, and the most technical parts came in the latter stages. I was very careful to stay in control throughout the race."

Tomorrow is a well-deserved rest day.
