Preston was pipped only by Great Britain paddler Mark Adam in second and Tim Middlehurst in first.
Bennet, chairman of Hemel Hempstead Canoe Club, finished in fifth as the fastest over 50 entrant or 'super veteran' in the race.
The club's members are in action next at Herts Young Mariners on November 23.
