Former Leeds Rhinos player Rob Burrow was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December 2019. Since then, Rob and his family have campaigned tirelessly to raise awareness and funds to support other families living with MND.
The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will see 7,777 participants take on a brand new route through Leeds that starts and finishes at Headingley Stadium. Taking in some of Leeds’ most scenic countryside and outer suburbs, the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will be a fitting tribute to the city that launched Rob’s career and which he calls home.
This is an event that truly is for everyone, so whether you are an experienced runner or have never thought about running an event before, we welcome all abilities to join us in 2024 for this very special event.
Participants can choose to support any charity that they wish to.
Like other small charities we can’t survive without funding and donations from charitable foundations, organisations and our wonderful community of fundraisers. We are so grateful for your support which is making such a difference to our work. Every penny counts and contributes towards providing, support and respite to carers. Since 2016, we have given away 190 free holidays to carers of loved ones living with life-limiting and terminal conditions – but we can’t continue to do this without your help!
