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 ninth round of the 2026 Grand Prix season took place at the Headington 5 on 23rd August.

Witney's men, with their third win of the season, are pulling away from Abingdon, who have kept the competition close upto now. Headington's women took their first win since the early rounds to pull back some of the deficit on Witney.
In the individual women's competition, with Lauren Beedie missing, Kate Daniels increased her lead over her closest rival. Matt Lock, champion for the last three years continues to dominate the men's competition.
