Oxon GP Series

The Grand Grand Prix Series started in 2002 and is organised by the Oxfordshire AA. In the competition most Oxfordshire Clubs compete against each other in a series of 14 road races over various distances.

In the team competition the first four runners for each club score and the teams are then awarded points according to their position on a sliding scale (1st 25 points, 2nd 22 points, 3rd 20points, 4th 19 points, 5th 18 points....). The best 12 results from the 14 races in the series count towards the teams overall score.

In the individual competition finishers are awarded a point for every other Oxon club runner that they beat. All 14 races in the series count towards the overall individuals score so the more races completed the more points you will score.

2009 Series

It all came down to the last race of the series to decide the Men's Team Title and a win at Eynsham would have been enough to secure it for Oxford.  On the day though, Oxford were beaten into second place by Abingdon, and with Woodstock finishing third, it left Oxford and Woodstock on equal points at the top of the table.  Although Oxford had secured more win's in the series, six to Woodstock's four, Woodstock took the Title having accumulated more points over the 14 races (the best 12 races initially count towards the team's score).  Still, 2nd place was a big improvement on 7th in 2008.  The Women's Team finished 11th (13th in 2008).

The team results, the first 25 positions in the Men's and Women's individual competition including the positions for all City runners, and the results from the previous years are attached below.
