Smiles for miles as Burrow family see thousands run in Rob’s memory
Yorkshire Evening Post
|May 12, 2025
The streets of Leeds were filled with pride, purpose, and powerful emotion yesterday as over 12,000 runners took part in the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon.
With crowds roaring and banners flying high with messages of strength and solidarity, runners of all ages and abilities turned out to “Run For Rob” — a heartfelt tribute to the late Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow, whose courage in the face of Motor Neurone Disease continues to inspire.
The event was once again championed by Rob’s former teammates Kevin Sinfield and Jamie Jones-Buchanan, as well as wife, Lindsey Burrow.
The action kicked off with the start of the marathon, followed by the Leeds Half Marathon.
