Mathew Ashton and Jenny McBain were crowned men’s and women’s champions after round four of the Mota-vation Series at Chipping Norton.
Ashton, from Witney, who runs for Aldershot, Farnham & District, set his fourth course record in four races, clocking 20mins 57secs for the 4.25-mile event.
This broke the previous record by 14 seconds, while Steve Naylor (Woodstock Harriers) was just ten seconds off the old mark in 21.21 and Darrell Bellinger (Oxford City) came third in 21.28.
Abingdon Amblers underlined their dominance in the men’s team event with six finishers in the top 13.
Alchester’s McBain finished 58th in 25.54 as her club stretched their lead over Headington Roadrunners in the women’s team event.
With Headington’s Jude Craft missing the last race through injury, McBain is assured of the ladies’ crown.
