Sir Kevin Sinfield delivers Super League final trophy after completing latest epic challenge

Sir Kevin Sinfield delivers Super League final trophy after completing latest epic challenge Charity hero Sir Kevin Sinfield has completed seven super marathons in seven days ahead of watching son Jack for Wakefield Trinity in the final against Warrington Wolves Charity hero Sir Kevin Sinfield delivered the trophy for the Super League Grand Final in front of 70,000 cheering fans — after completing another epic motor neurone disease (MND) fundraising challenge. His son Jack, 22, featured in his first final for Wakefield Trinity in the clash with Warrington Wolves at Old Trafford. It comes as his dad finished running seven ultra marathons in seven days - stopping at all 12 English Super League clubs along the way. Sir Kevin, 46, who was knighted in the King’s Birthday Honours for his extraordinary fundraising for motor neurone disease and his services to rugby league, finished his gruelling challenge by coming onto the pitch in Manchester with the trophy. Since 2020 the rugby icon has helped raise more than £11m for charities in memory of former teammate Rob Burrow who died from motor neurone disease in 2024. As he stood on the pitch, he said: "It's great to be back, thank you to everyone's played a part this week. Rob would be so proud to everyone who's cared and showed the love." Setting off on the final leg of his challenge from St Helens, Sir Kevin said: “It’s just been the best week, really special for all of us.” Thanking his support team, he said: “These guys have been incredible, but the support along the route has been overwhelming, it's been better than we ever thought. “And to meet all the MND families along the route, right across this stretch, we’ve had people from all the home nations visit and be a part of the extra miles, for them to see the love and care and support that’s out there for them has been wonderful for us.” He added: “We set out to raise £77,000 that first year and we ended up with £2.8 million, so we could feel some momentum behind us … all the sponsors and charities we represent , the people who’ve been roadside for us have just driven us forward. “It’s been a wonderful thing to be part of for seven years and we’ll see so many great people and families today, we’ve just got to keep helping.” Jack admitted he has been missing his dad. He said: “I've spoke to him a little bit, but obviously he's been really tired. “I think I’ve said already that when he planned this last challenge and for it to finish at Old Trafford, I don't think even he could have imagined that I would be playing in it. So it’s worked out pretty well. “I’ve obviously missed him a lot when he’s been away because I’m still living at home, so it’s really weird around the house without him.” Jack grew up watching the Leeds Rhinos legend win the Super League seven times and knows it’s his moment to try and “emulate” his dad. He said: “My first ever rugby league game was the 2004 Grand Final when I was three weeks old. I have been to every single one of the Grand Finals my dad has played in but the last one really stands out in 2015. “I had just turned 11 then so that's the one I really remember the most, knowing it was his last game as well.” Sir Kevin has raised more than £1 million for the MND Foundation with his seven-day run this week. The number seven is in honour of the shirt number his ex-team mate Rob wore for Leeds Rhinos. The rugby legend and his team also got a visit from the Prince and Princess of Wales on their stop at Wakefield Trinity, West Yorkshire, on Tuesday.
