7 in 7 Challenge returns to Wales for third successive year

Kevin Sinfield’s annual 7 in 7 Challenge will return to Wales on 3^rd December with Swansea joining Cardiff and Wrexham as finishing points in Sinfield’s epic fundraising challenges. 

The MND fundraiser and former Rugby League player, will tackle an ultra marathon on Wednesday 3^rdDecember, starting and finishing at Swansea.com Stadium. 

The route will include stops at the DVLA, Dunvant RFC, Swansea Bay Sports Park and going through the historical home of Swansea rugby and cricket at St Helens. However, there will also be a special personal moment for Sinfield as the route takes in Gorseinon RFC, the birth place of legendary Leeds player Lewis Jones, who passed away in 2024. 

Sinfield has raised over £10 million with his five previous challenges for those impacted by Motor Neurone Disease, inspired by his friend and former team mate Rob Burrow. 

Kevin is set to run seven ultra marathons in seven days across seven cities or regions. Again, this will include an Extra Mile event where members of the MND community will join Kev for one mile each day from 1^st to 7^th December 2025. Each day will be broken down into 7km blocks that Sinfield must complete inside the hour, before setting off on the next leg on the hour. 

This year, Kevin and the team will visit new locations that could be overlooked by major events so the MND community in each know they are not forgotten. The name for this year’s challenge is 7 in 7: Together.

On the third day of this year’s challenge, Sinfield and his team will return to Wales having run in Cardiff in 2023 and to Wrexham last year. 

The public are asked to come out and support the challenge as it visits towns and villages but the public are not allowed to join the run for everyone’s safety and protection. 

Commenting on the latest challenge Sinfield said, “We are looking forward to returning to Wales after receiving such a warm welcome in Cardiff and Wrexham in recent years. I had the privilege of meeting Jason Bowen in Cardiff two years ago on our way around the city and I know the people of Swansea have given him a lot of support with his own battle with MND. 

“I was pleased to hear that the route would take in Gorseinon. I knew Lewis Jones well as he attended nearly every Rhinos home game during my career. Our names were always linked because of our places in the history books at Leeds and it is nice that we are able to pay tribute to him as part of this challenge,” added Sinfield.  

Jones and Sinfield are two of only five players to have led Leeds to Championship glory in over 130 years history of the club which Jones second only to Sinfield for goals and points for the club.
