Oxfordshire AA Road Race Grand Prix

The Oxfordshire Road Race Grand Prix is competed for over 15 races throughout the season.  In each race the first 4 men and first 3 women from each participating club form the teams.  The first team scores 25, second 22, third 20, fourth 19 and so on.  The scores are added up through the season and the two worst scores discarded to decide the winner.  In the competition for individuals, you score points in each race according to the percentage of the field you beat and your two worst scores are discarded.  Full details of the rules are in the Grand Prix Rules attachment below, and a full list of prizewinners since the competition started in 2002 are in the Prizewinners attachment.

Based on the number of runners turning out in the previous season, some teams have changed their status from  large to small and vice-versa.  Small teams are indicated with the symbol § in the tables below.

The fourth round of the 2026 Grand Prix season took place at the Chalgrove 10k race on 4th May.  

Harwell's men took their second win of the season to go top of the team standings, while the win for Woodstock's women puts them in a challenging position for top spot.

In the individual men's competition Matt Lock won again and, with Connor McGurk missing, Gwilliam Lee joined Andrew Small to maintain Harwell's challenge. Among the women Kate Daniels increased her good lead lead over Lauren Beedie and Sarah Fry.

Apologies to those who noticed that I replaced the Eynsham 10k in the GP schedule with the Combe II Motavation race.  After consultation, I've decided to go with the Sonning Common 10k on 4th October instead.  It's in a part of the county under-represented in the GP and will have no problem taking new entries, which might well have been the case with Combe.
