WOODSTOCK Harriers are eyeing a treble in the Oxfordshire Road Race Grand Prix Series.

James Bolton leads the men’s standings by five points from Oxford City’s Aaron Burgess after seven races.

His Woodstock clubmate Jess Webb has a nine-point advantage over Kelly-Anne Lainsbury (Witney Road Runners) in the ladies’ standings.

The men’s team competition went down to the wire in 2011, with Oxford City eventually pipping Woodstock in the final race at the Eynsham 10K.

This season, Woodstock already have a 19-point lead over Headington Road Runners, while City languish in fourth.

Headington have an eight-point advantage over Alchester in the ladies’ team standings, with six races to go.
