The Leeds Rhinos legends enjoyed a special moment on the penultimate day of a bid to run seven ultra marathons in seven days.
Kevin Sinfield enjoyed an emotional embrace with Rob Burrow at Headingley today as he arrived in Leeds on the penultimate day of a bid to run seven ultra marathons in seven days. The legendary former Leeds Rhinos captain is running 300 miles from Edinburgh to Manchester, via Melrose, Newcastle, York, Leeds and Bradford, as part of the challenge.
The 42-year-old, who skippered Leeds to seven Super League titles, has set himself a fundraising target of £777,777 and has so far raised nearly £730,000 since the start of his challenge. He has already raised more than £5m following his friend's diagnosis in 2019. Sinfield's penultimate day running 35 miles started at York Minister, arriving in Leeds later to cheering crowds. His run will continue over the River Aire at Kirkstall and on towards Bramley and Leeds Road, all the way to Bradford Cathedral, before finishing at Valley Parade at about 14:15 GMT.
