Kevin Sinfield will arrive in Headingley later, where he will finish his seventh and last ultramarathon.

He has been running across the UK and Ireland for the last seven days, to raise money and awareness for the MND (motor neurone disease) communities.

He will be greeted by people dressed up as santa, as the Leeds Santa Dash will be taking part on Sunday too.

Finishing in Headingley is a tribute to his former friend and team mate Rob Burrow, who played in the number 7 shirt.

Rob was diagnosed with MND back in 2019 and lived in the lime light to help raise awareness of the disease. Since his passing last year, a specialist centre in his name has opened in Leeds.

Kevin and Rob's fundraising contributed to the centre.

The ruby union England coach also surpassed his target of £777,777 on Friday, again the number paying tribute to Rob.
