When Kevin Sinfield runs the inaugural Leeds Marathon this Sunday you won't see him checking his watch or attempting to keep up with the leading pack. In reality, Sinfield would happily let his run last as long as possible - because it will give him more quality time with his good mate Rob.
Sinfield isn't only running the Rob Burrow Marathon, he's running it with Rob Burrow himself. Leeds Rhinos' legendary captain will push his former teammate around the course, which begins and ends at Headingley Stadium, the ground where they enjoyed unprecedented success.
Sinfield has raised over £8 million for motor neurone disease since Burrow was diagnosed with the condition in 2019, while Burrow himself has raised worldwide awareness due to his efforts and bravery throughout his journey.
