A new marathon has been launched to honour legendary former Leeds Rhinos player Rob Burrow. The Headingley icon was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) in December 2019 and has gone on to raise millions of pounds for charity.
The marathon, which will take place in May 2023, was inspired by Burrow's team-mate Kevin Sinfield, who set himself fundraising running challenges.
"Any opportunity to raise awareness and funds to fight MND is wonderful," Burrow said.
