Run For All announces Clarion as title sponsor for Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon RELAY 

Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All, one of the UK’s largest non-profit event’s companies, have welcomed Clarion Solicitors as the title sponsor for RELAY, after a hugely a successful debut.

Taking place on Sunday 10th May, alongside the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, the RELAY element offers a team-based way to take part in this iconic event.

Back by popular demand in 2026, the RELAY will join the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon to unite thousands of runners, supporters and volunteers from across the country, standing as a lasting tribute to the late rugby league icon Rob Burrow and his unwavering fight against MND.

The RELAY in partnership with Clarion, will see teams of 7 take on the 26.2-mile course, each member passing the ‘metaphorical rugby ball’ at designated changeover points along the route. Whether it’s family, friends or colleagues, teams participate together, sharing the challenge and experiencing the Marathon atmosphere and triumph as a collective.

Teams will compete together, aiming to cross the finish line in the quickest combined time and be crowned 2026 RELAY champions.

Accessible to all, distances within the relay vary, making the run both fun and a great way to fundraise for charity, and a popular alternative to the full 26.2-mile marathon challenge.

Jenny Rennocks, Head of Marketing at Clarion, said: “We are delighted to continue our support for the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon in 2026. Having sponsored the event since its launch, we’ve seen first-hand the incredible community spirit it creates. The addition of the RELAY captures that perfectly – giving teams the chance to take on the challenge together and celebrate what can be achieved through teamwork and resilience.”

Clarion Solicitors is a Leeds-based law firm, that has long supported the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, and will be championing the RELAY in 2026 – the ultimate test of camaraderie and teamwork.

Alice Liley, Partnerships Manager at Run For All, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Clarion as title sponsor of the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon RELAY in 2026. 

The event promises to create a real sense of community spirit and teamwork amongst the RELAY teams, as well as some healthy competition in the battle for who will be crowned champion in 2026.

Whether it’s a team of friends, family or colleagues taking part, we’re looking forward to seeing you all cross the finish line together.”

The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will return in 2026 after a landmark year in 2025, now in its fourth year and now a landmark event in the region.
