Moment Rob Burrow carried over finish line by Kevin Sinfield at Leeds marathon

Rob Burrow was carried over the finish line by his long-time friend Kevin Sinfield at the inaugural Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on Sunday 14 May.

The former Leeds Rhinos rugby player, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in late 2019, was pushed around the course by his former team-mate for 26.2 miles.

With just metres to go, Sinfield lifted Burrow out of his specially adapted wheelchair and the pair completed the race together in an emotional conclusion.

As many as 12,500 other runners joined Leeds’ first marathon in 20 years.
