Join a passionate community and raise money for a cause you care about in the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon.
Rob Burrow
Former Leeds Rhinos player Rob Burrow was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in December 2019. Rob continued to fight, becoming a powerful advocate for MND awareness and research.
Rob and his family campaigned tirelessly to raise awareness and funds to support other families living with MND, raising more than £11 million on JustGiving for the MND Association and the Leeds Hospital Charity.
Taking in some of Leeds’ most scenic countryside and outer suburbs, the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon is a fitting tribute to the city that launched Rob’s career and which he called home.
