Kevin Sinfield receives incredible standing ovation as he completes ultramarathon challenge

Kevin Sinfield received an incredible standing ovation after completing his ultramarathon challenge at Old Trafford, Sinfield ran 300 miles from Edinburgh to Manchester across the last seven days to raise money for motor neurone disease charities.

The cause is one close to his heart, with his charitable efforts inspired by his former teammate and friend Rob Burrow who was diagnosed with the illness in 2019. His remarkable effort finally came to an end on Saturday at the perfect venue, as Sinfield arrived at Old Trafford for the men's and women's Rugby League World Cup finals.

Upon his completion Sinfield made his way out onto the Old Trafford turf and was unsurprisingly greeted with a hero's welcome by those packed inside for the two World Cup finales.
