EIGHT players from Bohemians will be running the Bristol 10k on Sunday in full cricket gear.
For good measure, they are planning to keep jogging through the finish line for an additional 4.5km, which will take the group straight to a friendly fixture at Bristol Civil Service's Filton ground.
Secretary Mike Joy said: "Potentially, we could be running straight out into the middle without having to remove our pads ... if we are still standing!"
Members of the rejuvenated Globe Sports Bristol & District League Division Four outfit last year completed the race in whites and pads, raising more than £1,000 for St Peter's Hospice.
The group is hopeful of at least equalling that fund-raising target, with proceeds this year being shared with the club's new youth section.
Bohemians are establishing teams for under-11s and under-13s. Any youngsters interested in joining the club, which is based at Mile Straight, Filton, should call Mike on 07811 840008.
