OXFORD City continued their early dominance of this year’s Mota-vation Series with six runners inside the top 20 at Bletchingdon.

The defending champions have already cemented their lead in the men’s team rankings after two rounds.

City’s Aaron Burgess took victory ahead of Woodstock Harrier James Bolton in 22mins 28secs, bouncing back from his second-place finish to clubmate Les Newell at Charltonon-Otmoor last month.

The 34-year-old led from the start, heading an early group of Bolton and City’s Nick Jones, which opened up a three-second gap after a kilometre over the chasing pack, fronted by Headington’s Gary Harris.

But over the course of the race, Jones and Harris dropped back and Newell took third overall.

Tony Lock (Witney) and Phil Kimber (City) won the vet 50 and vet 70 categories.

Defending champion Sophie Carter, from Woodstock, won the women’s event, crossing 22nd overall.

Woodstock Harrier Jessica Webb took an early ten-second lead over Carter, who runs for Belgrave Harriers, and Headington’s Diane Moore.

But by the return into Bletchingdon, Carter held a 15-second lead which she held to the finish.

Bridges took victory in the vet 45, while Gwyneth Hueter (City) and Kate Williamson led the way in the vet 55 and vet 65 respectively.

The next race is at Combe on Thursday, July 7.

BOLTON also came second at the Otmoor Challenge, finishing behind former Oxford City runner David Bruce.

Clubmate Webb was the first woman to cross in 19th.

EYNSHAM Roadrunner Mark Baker triumphed in the 10k at the Chiltern Chase, while Paul Hughes (Abingdon) won the 5k and City’s Jones won the 15k.

WITNEY resident Steve Naylor finished second at the Banbury 5.
