Rugby league legend Kevin Sinfield hopes to run 300 miles in just seven days to raise money for motor neurone disease research. And the former England captain and Great Britain star plans to finish his epic journey in front of a sell-out crowd at the sport’s World Cup final in November.
He has already raised more than £5million after completing seven marathons in seven days in December 2020 and running 101 miles in 24 hours last November. But now Sinfield, 42, is embarking on his toughest challenge, running from Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh to Old Trafford in Manchester.
Starting on November 13, he will cover around 70km, or 43 miles, every day. Along the route he will pass through Melrose in Scotland, Newcastle, Middlesbrough, York, Leeds, and Bradford.
