Sinfield, who along with his team have already raised over £10 million with five previous challenges, is set to run seven ultra marathons in seven days across seven cities or regions.

Again, this will include an Extra Mile event where members of the MND community will join him for one mile each day from December 1-7. Each day will be broken down into 7km blocks that Sinfield must complete inside the hour, before setting off on the next leg on the hour.

The name for this year's challenge is 7 in 7: Together, and will start on Monday, December 1, running from Bury St Edmunds to Ipswich in tribute to former Ipswich Town striker Marcus Stewart, who is living with MND.
