Why join #TeamMRF at the Leeds Marathon?
Taking place on Sunday 10th May, the marathon honours former Leeds Rhino player Rob Burrow who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December 2019.
This is an event that truly is for everyone, so whether you are an experienced runner or have never thought about running an event before, we welcome all abilities to join us in 2026 for this very special event.
Each step you take in Leeds is a step towards defeating meningitis – together we can do it.
