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 twelvth round of the 2025 Grand Prix season took place at the Abingdon Marathon on 19th October.  

The men's team competition remains too close to call, with Headington winning at Abingdon to go back ahead of Witney.  Among the women,  neither Headington or Witney were well represented and while Headington remain at the top, Woodstock's win moved them closer to the top teams.   In the individual competition Katherine Jones' win in the absence of Mary Scott and Sally Howard took her to first place, while Matt Lock continues to dominate the men's standings..
