Kevin Sinfield ready to embrace pain ahead of final epic MND challenge

Sinfield is set for his final ultra marathon challenge - (PA Archive)

Sir Kevin Sinfield has described his ultra marathon fundraising challenges as a "different type of pain" compared to his rugby league playing days, as he prepares for his seventh and final endurance effort to raise money for motor neurone disease (MND) charities.

Inspired by his former Leeds Rhinos teammate Rob Burrow, who died in 2024 after living with MND for four and a half years, the ‘7 in 7: The Grand Finale’ venture will see Sinfield complete an ultra marathon every day for seven days from September 28.
