It was exactly a decade ago that Highgate Harriers athlete Lilah Fear was seen competing in the London Mini Marathon trials, representing the best of North London’s junior athletics talent.

Today, that foundation in competitive running has culminated in an extraordinary achievement. Lilah recently served as a flag-bearer at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony. As a former Highgate junior, she has transitioned from the local tracks of London to becoming a genuine Olympic medal prospect on the world stage.

Highgate Harriers continues to support local athletes in their journey from grassroots competitions to international excellence.
