Kidlington Running Club has organised the Mota-vation Summer Road Race Series since the late 1980s.
There are five races in the summer Mota-vation series. They all take place on Thursday evenings and are tremendous fun. Each race is about four miles on quiet roads in pretty Oxfordshire villages.
Abingdon AC is one of the largest clubs taking part. The races are inclusive with a great atmosphere. Several of the events have a crepe van for food after the race, some have bars. We include at least one post-race pub stop.
If you are new to the club or new to racing, this is the perfect place to start!
