Day 5 of Kevin Sinfield's ultramarathon challenge kicks off in Beverley
The Rugby League legend is running from Beverley to Craven Park in Hull
A rugby league legend and charity fundraiser has kicked off day 5 of his ultramarathon challenge in Beverley this morning.
The route is taking Kevin Sinfield through Bentley, North Ferriby, to Costello stadium, through the City Centre before ending at Craven Park.
Called Running Home for Christmas, his team is visiting seven regions of the United Kingdom, with the aim each day to run distances in excess of 50 km, broken down into seven kilometre blocks.
He started the challenge on Sunday 1st December, and has covered routes in Liverpool, Bristol, Belfast, Glasgow and East Yorkshire.
Tomorrow, he's set to be running in Northamptonshire, before completing Day 7 of the challenge in Saddleworth.
The ex-Leeds Rhinos player is running in memory of friend and team-mate Rob Burrow, who died of MND in June.
Sinfield's seven in seven challenge, in recognition of Burrow's shirt number, has already raised more than £430,000 of a £777,777 target.
Leeds Rhinos say as well as Rob Burrow, today the team will be remembering former Hull FC player Adam Maher, who died aged 47 in 2020, after a battle with motor neurone diseae.
The Australian second-rower made 100 appearances for the Black and Whites between 2000 and 2003, scoring 25 tries.
Kevin Sinfield will be sporting both Hull KR and Hull FC's colours on todays challenge.
