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.
We are a volunteer-led charity based in the UK, our trustees are all parents or siblings of someone with Angelman Syndrome. We support people with AS and their families, as well as professionals and carers from the point of diagnosis and throughout their lives. We educate and raise awareness of Angelman Syndrome and the issues that surround it through delivering conferences and educational events to parents & professionals. We work with many organisations and researchers in the field of Angelman Syndrome to broaden our knowledge of the condition and improve our understanding of potential future therapeutics.
