In October 2021, he announced his second fundraiser, running between Leicester Tigers' home ground and Leeds Rhinos' Headingley, Stadium, a distance of approximately 101 miles (163 km), in under 24 hours.

With an initial goal of £100k, he was again raising funds for the MND Association, and described it as "the toughest challenge I have ever attempted”, raising over £1 million and says he will not stop fundraising until a cure is found for the disease.

In September 2022, Sinfield announced his third fundraiser, in which he would run seven ultramarathons in seven consecutive days, beginning at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh and concluding at Old Trafford in Manchester.
