FREE Press reporters Lisa Higginson and Simon Coyle are swapping the deadline for the finish line to take their marks in a charity race.
The duo are taking part in the Bupa Manchester Run on 17 May to help raise cash for Rossendale Hospice.
They will be pounding the city’s streets along with 30,000 other runners in a bid to complete the challenging 10k route.
After recently taking up running, the pair have been training hard for what will be their first race and are hoping to reach the finish line in a competitive time.
