The runner from the Owls club in Leicester claimed victory by more than 40 seconds in the five-mile event around the streets of Blisworth and Roade.
Lee raced home in 25.09 minutes to break the tape ahead of a trio of runners from host club Wootton Road Runners, with Mike Aldridge claiming second place in 25.50min.
Next home were Phil Melling (26.30min) and Craig Mattocks (27.16min), which was enough to give Wootton the coveted male team prize.
In a great night for the host club, they also took second place with their B team of Iain Hazell, Richard Lack and Jeff Mason all finishing in the top 15 in the race.

The veteran male team prize was taken by a strong Marshall Milton Keynes team of Phil Jones, Chris Mahon and Michael Groom, who beat the Wootton team of Richard Fowler, Guy Glennon and the evergreen Martin Fowler.
There were some great runs from other veteran category winners, notably Garry Payne, who finished sixth overall in 27.24min to win the 50-year age group and male-45 winner Rob Sheen, who was seventh in 27.26.
The ladies race was a high quality affair with Leamington's Sue Harrison winning in an excellent 28min 59sec.
Top Wootton lady Kirsty Whigham ran a great race to record a new personal best of 29.16min to finish second.
Third place went to Imogen Thornburgh (30.00min) who led her Marshall Milton Keynes team home to the female team prize.
Thornburgh was supported by veterans Julie Dalzell in fifth and 12th-placed Diane Farmer.
Second-placed team was Wootton with Whigham joined by Caroline Parkins, an excellent sixth place in 33.22, and Beth Sergeant, who was 15th in 36.05.
The veteran ladies team prize also went to Marshall Milton Keynes, with Dalzell and Farmer scoring again, along with female-50 winner Deborah Hindmarch.
There was a disappointing turnout from the Rugby and Northampton club but some pride was restored by the lady veterans, who finished second veteran team.
The team was led by Angela Copson who won the female-60 category in a stunning 34.33mins and she was well supported by F55 winner Linda Carter in 36.50 and the ever consistent Ann Rollings.
