Dan Higgins, now an M45 runner, was the first M45 winner in the Fleet half Marathon, on the 24th of March 2024, in 1hr 13min 18sec. His position out of 2016 runners was 27th.
Highgate Harrier, Dan Higgins, has a remarkable sequence of fast times in the London and, is bound to be running in the London on the 21st of April, 2024. There are a couple of the very top fastest Highgate men who hope to compete on the day but one should spare a thought for Higgins' record over the years!
Except for the first two which he did, in just over 3 hours, his record is amazing.
In 2003 & 2004 he was just outside the magic 3 hour mark but, that is far away from his record since those days. 2005 2:49.26; 2006 2:43.16; 2007 2:40.03; 2008 2:39.41; 2009 2:40.03; 2010 ---; 2011 2:39.19; 2012 2:45.44; 2013 2:39.07; 2014 2:43.14; 2015 2:37.14; 2016 --; 2017 2:38,27; 2018 2:42.04; 2019 2:33.43; 2020 -; 2021 2:44.25; 2022 2:38.52; 2023 2:34.34.
