Kevin Sinfield and Rob Burrow complete 10k race together

Kevin Sinfield and Rob Burrow completed the Leeds 10k over the weekend, with Sinfield pushing his former team-mate and friend in a specially-adapted wheelchair.

Burrow was tragically diagnosed with motor neurone disease back in 2019, and in the following years has managed to raise millions of pounds for charity.

The Rugby League legends joined their former team, Leeds Rhinos, to raise money for the Leeds Rhinos Foundation and the Rob Burrow Centre for MND appeal.

Sinfield said it was ‘brilliant’ to complete the course with his good friend when speaking to the media afterwards.

He told the BBC: “It’s been a while since we have been able to do some sort of running or activity.

“We have been waiting on this [wheelchair] to get delivered, it’s our first run with it today and we came 39th.

“Thankfully it stayed in one piece and hopefully he enjoyed it, I know I did.”

Sinfield added: “A lot of people were clapping, I think Rob has been such a huge inspiration to everybody that people have been really happy that we have been out on the course for it. It’s been a really nice day.”

Sinfield took charge of a team that ran seven marathons in seven days to raise more than £2.7m for motor neurone disease research back in 2020.
