It's the ultimate Scottish footballing challenge: to visit around all 42 senior clubs in just 42 hours.
From Easter Ross to Easter Road; from Parkhead to Peterhead, five friends will this week try to go through the turnstiles at every major ground in the country.
The men aren't quite sure they can do it but hope to raise money and awareness for a new charity, the JMA Trust, set up to celebrate the life of John Maurice Aitken, a fan of Annan Athletic and Celtic who died, just 32, after a decade fighting non-hodgkin's lymphoma.
The team of five touring grounds is led by Mr Aitken's two younger brothers Kevin and Ciaran but also includes friends Gordon Moffat, Joe Cranston and Gary McMenamin, all former Annan Athletic players now with various clubs.
Mr Moffat said: "John's passion for the beautiful game was relentless."
Many of the clubs visited will arrange events and sales of memorabilia to mark the challenge. Celebrity Dundee United fan Lorraine Kelly will meet the boys on Friday morning at Tannadice.
The race - hopefully without extra time - should end at Annan Athletic on Saturday.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
