Runners of all abilities and ages are being invited to participate in the 2025 Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, on Sunday, May 11 next year.

The marathon will take place in honour of the late Rob Burrow CBE, the former Leeds Rhinos player who lived with motor neurone disease since being diagnosed in 2019 and died earlier this year, aged 41.

The event, organised by Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All, has raised £6 million since it was founded in 2022.

Funds have supported charities including the MND Association and the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Appeal.

As in previous years, participants may fundraise for a charity of their choice or pick from a list of partner charities, which for 2025 include: the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Appeal, the MND Association, Candlelighters, Leeds North and West Foundation, the Leeds Rhinos Foundation, St Gemma’s Hospice, and the Jane Tomlinson Appeal.

Next year's marathon will start and finish at AMT Headingley Stadium, with the hilly route taking runners through the Headingley suburbs to Otley and back.

Tristan Batley-Kyle, operations director at Run For All, said: "We invite participants of all abilities and of all walks of life to lace up their trainers and Run For Rob in 2025.

"Rob’s efforts and campaigning to increase awareness of MND, and to raise millions to fund a specialist Motor Neurone Disease Care Centre in Leeds, have been truly inspirational.

"We will continue to honour and celebrate Rob."
