Rugby star Sinfield completes gruelling ultramarathon challenge in memory of Rob Burrow

Kevin Sinfield has completed seven ultramarathons in seven days to raise money and awareness for motor neurone disease (MND). The rugby league legend ran about 300km (185 miles) throughout the week, starting at Bury St Edmunds Rugby Club and ending at Leeds Rhinos home ground, Headingley Stadium. The 45-year-old completed an ultramarathon of at least 45km (27.9 miles) each day of his challenge, in bursts of 7km (4.3 miles). On Sunday he crossed the finish line in front of hundreds of supporters, who had gathered in the stadium's North and West stands to cheer him on. He said: To the MND Community and the people we've met on route, all through the last week, all through the past five years, to everybody we've met - it's an absolutely beautiful community.
