Walk4Matt to the Aviva Premiership Final at Twickenham is in its fifth year and raises money for the Matt Hampson Foundation.
It begins in Rugby on Saturday, May 18 and fans are being encouraged to take part in two day-long walks on the opening weekend.
The first is on Saturday, May 18 from the Old Royal Oak pub in Rugby to the Heart of England pub in Weedon, Northamptonshire and the second is on Sunday, May 19, starting in Weedon and finishing at the Navigation at Cosgrove near Milton Keynes.
Walk4Matt follows the 110-mile route along the towpaths of the Grand Union Canal, finishing at Twickenham on Saturday, May 25 for the showpiece end to the season.
Tigers fans can also crew one of the fleet of narrow boats for the week taking on roles such as skipper and lockhand. They are set to be joined by fans’ favourites Craig Newby and Boris Stankovich on some of the walk while Tigers legends including Harry Ellis and Freddie Tuilagi are also set to drop in.
In previous years Tigers legends such as Martin Johnson, Graham Rowntree and Dusty Hare have joined in the walk and there are sure to be more famous names getting involved for the 2013 event.
