Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield have always been loved by the city of Leeds but their legend was further cemented on Sunday.
You'd have needed a heart of stone to hold back the tears as the best friends crossed the finishing line together. As they approached, Kevin stopped, and in an emotionally poignant moment we'll undoubtedly see again and again in years to come, carrying Rob over the line. It was certainly a 'I was there' moment.
They led a staggering 15,000 people, along the course, who all came together as one for the first Rob Burrow Marathon. The sun glistened over the streets of Headingley as thousands showed their support and adulation for the rugby heroes and the runners inspired to follow their example.
