Leeds Rhinos Foundation are looking for runners inspired by the PlusNet Leeds Half Marathon on May 14th to take up a charity place for Leeds Rhinos’ official charity this year as part of the Run with the Rhinos team with places available for the sold out PlusNet Yorkshire Marathon as well as places for the Asda Foundation Leeds 10k
Starting in July runners looking to take on a 10k can join the Run with the Rhinos team headlined by Leeds Rhinos legends Kevin Sinfield and Barrie McDermott for the Asda Foundation Leeds 10k.
With 75 charity places available for the Asda Foundation Leeds 10k and 47 days to go until the race, runners joining the team can still benefit from fundraising support, a bespoke training session from Xercise4Less to get you race ready, and a Run with the Rhinos technical race T-Shirt to wear on the day.
Those who have missed out on running a marathon this year, can also still realise their goal of running 26.2 miles with Run with the Rhinos at the sold-out PlusNet Yorkshire Marathon in October with seven charity places available with the charity.
Director of Operations for Leeds Rhinos Foundation Bob Bowman, who recently completed 13 marathons in 15 days for charity said:
“Our Run with the Rhinos initiative is very important to us as a charity as it’s great for us to support a city event that means a lot to the people of Leeds with Jane Tomlinson’s legacy but also it gives fans and supporters of the charity a chance to take on a challenge and give something back to the Foundation.
"This year we are delighted to also offer places for the marathon as well which is a fantastic event for Yorkshire and one of the best marathon routes in the country. The fact that the event sells out every year says a lot about it's growing appeal."
All Run with the Rhinos fundraisers will also be given extra motivation this year with anyone raising over £200 automatically entered into a draw to win two corporate match day hospitality tickets for a Leeds Rhinos home fixture.
