DAN Blake took victory in a thrilling start to the Mota-vation Series in Charlton-on-Otmoor.

The former Oxford City AC runner, who is now unattached, overtook Woodstock Harrier James Bolton with 400 yards to go to win by three seconds.

Bolton had led by 15 seconds after the first lap, but was forced to settle for second, with City’s Aaron Burgess third.

Witney RR pairing Tegs Jones and Sam Upton completed the top five amongst a record 446 finishers to help their club take an early lead in the team standings.

City duo Brian Green (V60) and Roy Treadwell (V70) won their age groups, as did Banbury Harrier Owen Knox (U19) and Headington RR’s Fergus Campbell (V50).

Headington’s Diane Foster started her defence of the women’s title in dominant fashion, beating her nearest challenger, City’s Lauren Hawtin, by nearly a minute.

Banbury’s Tia Williams (U19), Alchester’s Sarah Rendell (LV45), Cherwell Runners & Joggers’ Clare Curnow (LV55) and Eynsham RR’s Kate Williamson (LV65) topped their age categories.

Headington have already opened up a 44-point advantage in the team rankings.

Meanwhile, Kidlington AC’s Graham Hope won the Chalgrove 10k.

He triumphed in 34mins 34secs, beating Witney’s Matthew Lock and Headington’s James Eve.
