All profits from 2025 Leeds Santa Dash go direct to Kev's 7in7: Together Challenge.

Kev's 2025 challenge will see him once again hitting the streets of the UK and ROI with his team this December, to raise money and awareness for those impacted by Motor Neurone Disease. 

The challenge begins on Monday 1st December in East Anglia, running from Bury St Edmunds to Ipswich in tribute to former striker Marcus Stewart, who is living with MND.

On Day 2, the team heads to Cork, Ireland, remembering Charlie Bird and Paul Darbyshire, with support from the Irish MND Association.

Day 3 sees a circuit of Swansea, before moving to Sheffield on Day 4, finishing at SITraN, a world-leading MND research centre.

Day 5 brings the team north to Cumbria, running from Workington to Whitehaven, and Day 6 takes them to Scotland, starting at Carnoustie and finishing in Dundee, inspired by the late Doddie Weir.

The challenge concludes on Day 7 as Kevin and the team return to Leeds — home of his great friend Rob Burrow.

Run For All is proud to deliver the Leeds Santa Dash, which will form part of the final day’s celebrations. Starting at Leeds Beckett University and finishing at AMT Headingley Stadium, the Santa Dash will bring together families, runners and supporters to help Kevin cross the finish line in festive style.

Funds raised will support the six MND charities: the MND Association, Leeds Hospitals Charity, Irish MND Association, Darby Rimmer Foundation, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, and MND Scotland.

This is a collection only event. More information coming soon.
