The Longest Try is a rugby union charity relay run with clubs submitting runners to cover a 15 mile stretch and link with clubs either side of their route. The event is in support of the MND Association, Gloucester Rugby Foundation in their support of Ed Slater and Wasps Legends Charitable Foundation in celebration of the life of Paul Rendall.

Nottingham RFC, Leicester Tigers and Gloucester rugby second row, Ed Slater, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in July 2022. Paul Rendall, 'The Judge', Wasps FC, Slough RFC, Bracknell RFC and England International, was also recently diagnosed and sadly passed away on 13 June.

The original national route has been revised to start on Friday 11 August at Winchester RFC and finish on 12 August at Twickenham Stadium with a Wasps FC, Slough and Bracknell team member scoring the try at the England v Wales World Cup warm-up match.

The participating clubs are: Winchester RFC, Alton RFC, Farnham RFC, Effingham & Leatherhead RFC, Esher RFC, Chobham RFC and Reading RFC as they run their way to Bracknell RFC on Friday.
