Rob Burrow has issued a grateful message to runners taking part in a marathon in his honour this weekend.
The very first Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will see more than 10,000 people run through Leeds starting and ending at Headingley Stadium - the home of Burrow's former team Leeds Rhinos. The event on Sunday, May 14, will be held in support of the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Appeal and the MND Association.
In the message posted on social media by Jane Tomlinson's Run For All, he said: "I would like to say a huge thank you to all the amazing runners taking part in the augural Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on the 14th May 2023. Whether this is your first marathon or your seventh, I can't thank you enough for your support.
