There were perfect conditions on Wednesday night for the 2nd race in this summer's Inter Club Series.  Preston Harriers were the host club for the 4 mile, 2 lap course  from Vernon's Social Club heading into Avenham Park.  Rob Danson of Wesham RR and Emily Japp of Blackpool Wyre and Fylde AC continued their dominant streaks from last year again taking 1st man and 1st lady in 20:31 and 23:30 respectively .  The host club then provided a superb buffet afterwards for the 324 finishers.
