Kevin Sinfield has completed a solo marathon to raise money for Rob Burrow after his former Leeds rugby league team-mate was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. Sinfield, now Leeds' director of rugby, had planned to run the Manchester marathon on April 5 before it was postponed - along with numerous other sports events, due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Although a new date of October 11 was set for the Manchester marathon, Sinfield planned his own route starting in his home town of Saddleworth, near Oldham in northwest England, to raise awareness for his friend and former Leeds and England team-mate Burrow.
