History

Highgate Harriers were founded in 1879.
In 1908, George Larner was the first Harrier to win a gold medal at the Olympic Games. Larner won the 10 miles walk event and the 3500 metres walk event at the London Olympics.
Since 2013, Highgate Harriers have hosted the Night of the 10,000 metres PBs, a track competition featuring solely 10,000 metre races. The event is usually held in mid-to-late May or early June, and since 2014, the English Championships for 10,000 metres have been incorporated into the event. From 2016, the British Athletics Championships were also held as part of the competition.
