"Run for a Mate" and help raise vital funds for the The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Appeal

Named after Leeds Rhinos hero Rob, who was diagnosed with MND in 2019, The 2024 Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will see over 10,000 participants take on a 26.2-mile route through Leeds. Taking in some of Leeds’ most scenic countryside and outer suburbs, the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will be a fitting tribute to the city that launched Rob’s career and which he calls home.

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!

"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 run in honour of Rob or who have been inspired to "Run for a mate, with a mate" just as Kev has.

Rob's Story

Rugby League Legend Rob Burrow was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December 2019. Since then, Rob and his family have campaigned tirelessly to raise awareness and funds to support other families living with MND.

The Rob Burrow Centre for MND Appeal
