Amazing moments from the Rob Burrow Marathon in Leeds
What an incredible event
Last updated 15th May 2023
What an iconic weekend for Leeds, the first Rob Burrow Marathon in the city raised millions for charity.
Kevin Sinfield carried Rob Burrow over the finish line after pushing his great friend and former Leeds Rhinos team-mate for 26.2 miles on Sunday.
With just a couple of metres left to go, Sinfield lifted Burrow out of his specially adapted wheelchair and the pair completed the course together in an emotional finish at Headingley Stadium.
Rob Burrow's wife Lindsey also finished the emotional race.
Sunday's event, plus the Leeds Half Marathon which also took place on Sunday, was held by Leeds City Council in partnership with Jane Tomlinson's Run For All charity and has already surpassed the £1m fundraising mark.
Sinfield told the PA news agency on Friday:
"To raise money for the MND Association and the Leeds Hospitals Charity is really important, but this is also about a celebration of friendship."
