"Run for a mate, with a mate"

The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon is about more than just running, it’s about running together with mates, for a mate. Kevin Sinfield’s fundraising missions in support of Rob and the wider MND community have inspired and brought hope to so many of those living with MND.

We have received countless inspiring stories from runners who have been spurred on to take part in honour of Rob or who have been inspired to "Run for a mate, with a mate" just as Kev has.

This is an event that truly is for everyone, so whether you are an experienced runner or have never thought about running an event before, we welcome all abilities to join us in 2024 for this very special event.

We can’t wait to see you at the start line!

Frequently Asked Questions

How will my fundraising be used?

The Rob Burrow Centre for MND Appeal

Inspired by Rugby League Legend Rob, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2019, we are building a £6.8m state-of-the-art MND Care Centre, to give people with MND and their families the best possible care and support. 

By taking part in this event, you will be helping to create The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease, which will see all MND services housed under one roof for the first time.
