JAMES Bolton, of Woodstock Harriers, continued his fine form to claim a dominant victory at the Waddesdon Manor Summer 5K.

The veteran 40 runner crossed the finish line in 16mins 34secs, more than 30 seconds ahead of secondplaced Harri Kane, of Vale of Aylesbury.

It was also a good day for Alchester’s Richard Gould, who came tenth and was the first vet 40 home, while clubmate Ian Hunter crossed 18th in a season’s best of 18.56.

Eynsham’s Graham Bridges finished 19th overall to top the vet 50 standings, while Alchester’s David Basham won the vet 70 prize.

His clubmate, Hannah Hale, was the second female home in 29th.

Jacky Pinnock, of Eynsham, took the vet 55 prize, crossing 124th.

OXFORD City’s Les Newell and Aaron Burgess tasted victory at the annual Iffley Festival of Miles, hosted by Oxford University Cross Country Club.

The event was combined with the British Milers Championship and Newell starred in the veterans race.

He took the lead during the first lap and, despite the hot and humid conditions, held on for an impressive 4mins 35secs mile.

Burgess competed in the open A race and made a similar start, only to be caught at the 1,400m mark by Oxford University’s Chris McGurk.

But a final burst from Burgess saw him regain the lead and win in a personal best time of 4.37.74.

ABINGDON’S Mark Lewy was the first vet 50 runner home in 25th overall at the Down Tow Up Flow Half Marathon.
