Woodstock 12

James Bolton and Rachel Masser completed a home double for organisers Woodstock Harriers.

The duo were the first man and lady home over the 12.1-mile three-lap course in the grounds of Blenheim Palace.

Bolton retained his crown , completing a dominant victory in 1hr 6mins 31secs – just seven seconds slower than his 2012 time.

Masser secured her first victory over the tough, undulating course, clocking 1.20.19 for 23rd place overall.

Vet 40 athlete Bolton broke away early on and finished 2mins 44secs ahead of second-placed Paul Fernandez (Abingdon).

The ladies’ race was much closer, with Masser just 45 seconds clear of second-placed Jenny McBain (Alchester).

White Horse Harriers’ Jonnie Cornish was the third man home in 1.11.30, while Headington Road Runners’ Jess Bruce achieved that mark for the ladies with 1.23.22, just ahead of Jess Webb (Woodstock) in 1.23.39.

With Bolton taking the top prize, Woodstock’s Dave Cantwell won the vet 40 category in 1.12.52.

Likewise, despite being beaten by fellow veterans Masser and McBain, Alchester’s Sam Usher took the vet 35 ladies’ honours in 1.25.31.

Woodstock were also the men’s team winners, with Headington taking the ladies’ honours.
