Time running out to sign up for Santa Dash and be part of Kevin SInfield's final leg

Time is running out if you want to sign up for the first ever Leeds Fun 3k Santa Dash this Sunday 7th December and the chance to be part of Kevin SInfield's final leg of his epic 7 in 7: Together challenge. 

Starting at 2pm from Leeds Beckett University, families, friends and participants of all ages and abilities will take to the streets of Leeds festively dressed, for the accessible 3km course. Runners will then head to the AMT Headingley Stadium for the finish, where they’ll receive their festive finisher item. Participants will receive their Santa suit with their entry, to line the streets in style.

With support from Leeds Rhinos and Leeds Beckett University, the Leeds Santa Dash will form the final leg of Kevin’s 7 in 7: Together Challenge, to raise money and awareness for those affected by motor neurone disease.

The challenge started on Monday 1st December, with Kevin running seven ultra marathons in seven days. On the final day, Kevin and the team will be in Leeds, and Kevin will be starting the Leeds Santa Dash, on his final leg of the challenge, heading back to the finish at AMT Headingley Stadium, where his teammate and friend Rob Burrow created unforgettable memories.

This Sunday we will also be hosting a Christmas Carol Service as we welcome Kevin Sinfield back to AMT Headingley as part of his 7 in 7 Together Challenge!  From 3:30pm until 4:30pm, this year’s Carols will be held outdoors in the North Stand and there will be a fantastic Christmas atmosphere, with food and beverages available around the stadium.

Kevin Sinfield, said: “Each 7 in 7 Challenge is a huge team effort and it will be brilliant to welcome even more people to take part and show their support for the MND community with the inclusion of the Santa Dash on our final leg this December. The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon have become an incredible celebration of what we can all achieve together for those in need, whether that is running or those who pack the streets to give their support. Especially in the build up to Christmas, I hope as many people as possible will be on the streets of Headingley to cheer on those taking part in the Santa Dash and it is a great occasion.”

All profits from the Leeds Santa Dash will be donated to Kevin’s 7 in 7: Together Challenge, which will be supporting the MND Association, Leeds Hospitals Charity, Irish MND Association, Darby Rimmer MND Foundation, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and MND Scotland.
