Kevin Sinfield's 7 in 7 Challenge 2025: The exact Leeds locations where you can rally Kev to the finish line

• Kevin Sinfield is readying himself for his penultimate 7 in 7 Challenge this week, raising funds for six Motor Neurone Disease charities.
• The former Leeds Rhino star will be running seven ultra-marathons in seven days, culminating with his final stretch finishing in Leeds.
• Here’s where you can rally the rugby great in the city, and what roads are set to be closed during the final hurdles.

Six times looks to be the charm for former Leeds Rhinos great Kevin Sinfield, as he once again embarks on the gruelling 7 in 7: Together Challenge this week.

This is set to be his penultimate annual challenge, raising money and awareness for those impacted by Motor Neurone Disease. Choosing the number "7" in honour of the late, great Rob Burrow and his jersey number, six MND charities will benefit from the fundraising efforts, with Sinfield and his team already having raised over £10million from his five previous challenges.

Those charities include the MND Association, the Irish MND Association, the Darby Rimmer Foundation, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, MND Scotland and the Rob Burrow Centre as part of Leeds Hospitals Charity.

The challenge sees Sinfield running seven ultra-marathons in seven days, racking up an impressive 42k per day, with the first taking place on Monday (December 1) in East Anglia, followed by treks in Cork (Ireland), Swansea, Sheffield, Cumbria, and Dundee—before finishing off the proceedings here in Leeds.

Though organisers have politely reminded fans that they are not allowed to join the run for safety reasons, there are several ‘cheer points’ that will be available next Sunday (December 7) to give Kevin the support he needs.

He'll power through to the finish line at the AMT Headingley Rugby Stadium, joining the Santa Dash runners to celebrate the completion of this year’s monumental challenge.

Here’s where he’ll be passing through on his final marathon in the city, and what time he is expected to be at those areas for your well-wishes and shouts of support.
