The Leeds Rhinos Foundation are pleased to announce an allocation of 20 charity places for the PlusNet Yorkshire Marathon, following the official launch of the race, which has now SOLD OUT.
A unique local event, the race – now in its third year- will attract around 7,000 runners to the streets of York. The Leeds Rhinos Foundation (LRF) are excited to invite 20 committed individuals to join OUR team for the race.
Leeds Rhinos Foundation staff rising to the challenge include Leeds Rhinos legend Keith Senior, Director of Operations Bob Bowman, Rhinos Academy Coach and Community manager Jonny Wainhouse and Jess Bowman and Dan Phillis from the LRF Events and Fundraising and Media and PR departments.
We are accepting applications to run with us on a first-come first-served basis and ask our runners to raise a minimum £500 sponsorship, which will directly contribute to the excellent work that the Leeds Rhinos Foundation does with children and communities across Leeds.
This year all proceeds raised from the Leeds Rhinos Foundation Marathon runners will be specifically directed towards increasing participation and enjoyment of Rugby League within the disabled and Special Educational needs focus of our work. A great opportunity to leave a legacy and "Change Lives Through Sport".
