We look at the players and clubs who have covered the longest distances on the pitch in 2025/26

Football writer Adrian Clarke looks at the players and clubs who have ran the most in the 2025/26 Premier League season.

Everton’s James Garner ran further than all the other Premier League players during 2025/26, covering an extraordinary 415km in distance.  

That is roughly the equivalent of running from Hill Dickinson Stadium to Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park in south London, before then heading to Stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea.

England team-mates Elliot Anderson and Morgan Rogers also covered an enormous amount of ground during impressive campaigns from the duo.  

Sandwiched between them in third place was AFC Bournemouth left-back Adrien Truffert, who made a very strong impression flying up and down the flank across his first season of Premier League football.  

That quartet were the only individuals to surpass the 400km barrier.

Seven of the top ten were central midfielders or No 10s, with two full backs and wide forward, Jarrod Bowen of West Ham United, making up the group.

Who ran the furthest for each team? 

Of the remaining 10 top-flight teams not featured in the list above, Declan Rice and Tyrick Mitchell both ran over 380km to cover the most distance at their respective clubs.  

In addition to breaking the Premier League assists record, Bruno Fernandes ran more than any other Manchester United player too, during what turned out to be a stellar 2025/26 for the Portuguese star.  

Veteran right-back Kyle Walker, 36, also deserves praise for finishing the campaign as relegated Burnley’s hardest-working individual.

Who has run the furthest in a single Premier League match? 

Bruno Guimaraes didn’t just score in Newcastle United’s thrilling 4-3 win at home to Leeds United on 7 January – he also covered an extraordinary 13.24km during that classic Premier League game.  It was the furthest anyone has run in a top-flight game in 2025/26.  

Bernardo Silva and Pascal Gross are the only other players to break the 13km barrier, with the 34-year-old Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder the only individual to have exceeded that distance more than once. 

Four of the top eight distances recorded this season have come from 31-year-old Silva, which is testament to the Portugal international's incredible fitness, consistency and stamina.
