Career
Robinson started running to lose some weight. In 2000 he realized his marathon debut in London a time of 2: 37.56. Four years later, he ran 2: 13:53 his personal record in London and he qualified this time for the Athens Olympics . There he earned a 23rd place in 2: 17:53.

A year later, he took part in the marathon at the World Championships in Helsinki . He was twelfth with a time of 2: 14:26.

In 2006, Dan Robinson came to his best result at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, he won the marathon bronze medal in 2: 14.50. At the European Championships in Gothenburg, which he also participated that year, he returned to this discipline, however, no more than a sixteenth place in 2: 16:06. The following year he won the London Marathon in ninth place with a time of 2: 14:14. At the world championships in Osaka, however, he could not approach this time and finished in 2: 20.30 eleventh.

In the spring of 2008, Robinson was again in London to its best result ever. He posted a time of 2: 13.10, which he finished in thirteenth. It gave him, as in 2004, the right to participate in the Olympics . In the warm Beijing however, he could not find his rhythm in London and he finished 24th in 2: 16:14.

On 18 October 2009 he improved at the Amsterdam Marathon his personal record to 2: 12:14. He finished this in eleventh place.
