Woodstock Harrier James Bolton leads Abingdon AC’s Paul Fernandez by just one point ahead of tonight's final round of the Motavation Series in Oxford.

Bolton, who topped the Vet 40 age group in the last round at Combe, is four ahead of Oxford City AC’s Julian Richardson back in third.

In the senior men, Les Newell (Oxford City) and Tim Wright (Banbury Harriers) trail Wimbledon Hercules’s Kieran White by four points.

Matthew Ray, of Eynsham Road Runners, is three points adrift of Vale of Aylesbury’s Conor Richardson in the under 19 race.

Headington Road Runners’ Andy Phelps leads Ian Thomas, of Cherwell Runners and Joggers, by a point in the V50 standings, while Oxford City’s Richard Grant is two adrift of V60 leader Paul Gregory (Vale of Aylesbury).

Nigel Lambert (Alchester) and Kidlington's Michael Collins are level in the V70s.

In the senior women, Jessica Webb, of Woodstock leads Headington’s Rebecca Campbell by three points.

In the V35 event, Woodstock’s Sophie Carter, running for Belgrave Harriers, tops the field ahead of Diane Moore (Headington), while Allison Hirst (unattached) is the V45 frontrunner.

Gwyneth Hueter (Oxford) and Eynsham's Jacqueline Pinnock are split by just a point in the V55, while the latter’s clubmate Kate Williamson is top V65 athlete.

In the team event, defending champions Oxford City A and Headington A lead the men’s and women’s respectively.

The series finale begins at 7pm from Oxford Harlequins RFC in Marston Ferry Road.

Meanwhile, Bolton warmed up for this evening with victory in the Headington 5, beating second-placed Fernandez by 17 seconds.

However, the Abingdon athlete bounced back a day later to win the inaugural Barnes Fitness Harwell Half.

The first woman home was White Horse Harriers’ Clarie Norrish in 16th overall.
