Oxford Self-Transcendence Summer Races 2018

The final race of the season saw a good turnout - considering the distraction of the World Cup. Another decent evening and some good times to wrap up the season.

See you all next year.

The concluding race in our Grand Prix series, saw cooler weather. Matthew Rallison (Oxford City) won in a very good time of 20.46. First lady was Chloe Ridewood in a time of 24.29.

With Grand Prix series, if points are tied. It is decided by:

• Which runner did the most races?
• Which runner had fastest time in 4 miles
• Which runner had fastest time in 3 miles.

(Results attached)

Prizes will be handed out at next race 3 miles - 18th June.

Another nice evening saw a good turnout of 75 runners. The first man, in a time of 15.31, was Paul Hughes (Abingdon A.C). The fastest lady was Chloe Ridewood (Abingdon A.C.) in a time of 18.08.

Just a few other notes

• Thanks to Abingdon A.C. for using our race as their club championship and bringing along a great turnout
• Unfortunately, our carefully measured Peace Mile has become more like a 0.933 mile due to the council leaving more long grass on the right hand side. To make the mile a one mile loop would mean running over long grass. We will speak to the council and see if more grass can be mowed - however, it may not happen for this year.
• Our next race is on Mon - 4 June, 2018 4 miles. This is the last race in the Grand Prix series. Prizes will be given at our final race of the year - 18 June.
• New for this year, there will be a small (1 point) bonus for those runners who make all three races. Next year, I will have new point system to reflect some categories are getting bigger and give reward for finishing lower down the category.
