Helen Clitheroe was born in Preston and is a member of Preston Harriers and is coached by John Nuttall. One of the stalwarts of the British team, Clitheroe represented Great Britain at the World Cross Country Championships for eight consecutive years, starting in 1998 and her best performance was finishing 19th in the discontinued short-course race in 2004. Having primarily found success over 1500m, Clitheroe has made the successful transition to the steeplechase, setting a national record in the heats of the 2008 Olympic Games.

In 2009 although over five seconds outside her British record pb, she was still number one in the Power of Ten by a massive 16 seconds.
