James Bolton made it three Oxfordshire Road Race Grand Prix victories in a row with a dominant display in the Hor-nton Classic Six on Saturday.

The 40-year-old Woodstock Harriers stalwart completed the hilly six-mile course near Banbury in 32mins 38secs to win by almost three minutes.

This followed up Bolton’s victories in the Thame 10K and Didcot 5.

Witney Road Runners’ Gareth Petts was second in 35.26, which also earned him the senior men’s title.

Woodstock took the men’s team title, with Dave Cantwell fourth and Kevin Game sixth.

Remarkably, Bolton’s victory was his third race of the day.

He had earlier competed over 600m and a mile in the British Milers Club Oxford Grand Prix at Iffley Road.

The prolific racer clocked 1min 32.93secs for the shorter distance and 4.39.37 for the mile.

Steve Naylor, from Combe, recorded a season’s best in the men’s A 5,000m race at the same meeting.

Naylor (Bedford & County Hariers) finished ninth in 14mins 48.48secs after going through 3,000m in 8.46.

He said: “The breeze obviously never helps for fast times, but the cooler temperatures were most welcome.”
