Kevin Sinfield sets off on epic 300-mile run in support of Rob Burrow and MND awareness

Heroic Kevin Sinfield has set off on his latest epic fundraising challenge - as he runs 300 miles in just seven days to support Rob Burrow and others living with motor neurone disease.

Rugby league legend Sinfield is Burrow's former Leeds Rhinos teammate and has already raised £5million in his close friend's name. And he has now embarked on an ‘Ultra 7 in 7 Challenge’, where he will set off in Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh and hopes to arrive at Old Trafford at half-time of the World Cup final on November 19.

Sinfield will run more than 300 miles in one week - averaging more than 37 miles a day to support those affected by MND. The 42-year-old ran seven marathons in seven days in 2020, and has upped the difficulty once again in a gruelling quest that will test his endurance.
