Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon 2025
Former Leeds Rhinos Player Rob Burrow was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December 2019. Since then, Rob and his family have campaigned tirelessly to raise awareness and funds to support other families living with MND.
The 2023 Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon saw over 10,000 participants take to the streets of Leeds, with the route taking in some of the city’s most scenic countryside and outer suburbs. The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will be a fitting tribute to the city that launched Rob’s career and which he called home.
Whether you are an experienced runner or considering your first running event, all abilities are welcome for this special event.
Registrations for the 2025 event are not currently open. If you would like to express your interest in the 2026 event, we will inform you about this when details are released.
Wooden Spoon supporting you: we will provide you with a Wooden Spoon run vest, access to our Fundraising pack and resources such as social media graphics and videos; and email updates. For queries, email challenges@woodenspoon.org.uk
Wooden Spoon works with some event suppliers to provide a platform for our members and supporters to fundraise for the charity. There is a cost to the charity to administer these events and therefore we have set minimum fundraising levels which we view as achievable based on previous participants. It is at Wooden Spoon’s discretion whether to allow the participants to take part or not for the charity, if fundraising levels are not met. Thanks for your understanding.
