Jack Higgins (born 20 September 2001) is a British middle-distance runner. He won the British Athletics Indoor Championships in 2024, over 800 metres, and was also runner-up the following year. [1]
He runs for Tonbridge athletics club. He was the winner of the British 800 metres indoor title in February 2024 with a personal best time of 1:47.91, causing an upset against pre-race favourite Guy Learmonth at the 2024 British Indoor Athletics Championships. [2] [3] However, Higgins' world ranking was not sufficiently high enough to compete at the subsequent World Indoor Championships in Glasgow. [4] [5]
He finished second behind Justin Davies whilst competing over 800 metres at the 2025 British Indoor Athletics Championships in Birmingham, on 23 February 2025. [6] He was selected for the British team for the 2025 European Athletics Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn.
