The Lytham Interclub race on Thursday (May 3rd) presented Preston Harriers with their second opportunity of the season to go head to head with runners from the other big local clubs. In total, an impressive 51 Harriers turned out for this race and despite strong competition, Harriers’ strength in depth proved decisive as they took first place in the open all-age team category for the second race in a row, a great start to their title defence, with Harriers also winning the open vet team category. Notable performances included David Rigby (25:17) and Rob Affleck (27:11) who completed a 1-2, to take first and second place on the day, junior male Nathan Hilditch (29:06) who finished 15th, Dave Watson (29:21) and Neil McDonald (30:25) who took first and second in the male vet 50 category, and Jenny Wren (34:56) who returned from a long-term injury to be first female Harrier across the line.
