Famous faces to spot at the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon 2024

The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon was inspired by Kevin Sinfield’s many running challenges over the years in support of his friend and former teammate, Rob.

The marathon aims to raise awareness and funds for the Rob Burrow Center for MND here in Leeds as well as the MND Association. While runners are encouraged to choose their own charities to support.

Last year, viewers witnessed the iconic moment when Kevin carried Rob across the finish line after pushing him in his wheelchair the entire 26.2 mile course – the event raised £5m for charity last year.
