TWO staff members of Charter Community Housing are on the run - as they get ready for the London marathon on April 22.
Roger Maddams and Ian Robinson are already in training and hope to raise money for two charities, Katharine House Hospice and Asthma UK.
Mr Maddams is Charter's resources director and company secretary, and Mr Robinson is the association's accountant.
Mr Robinson will be trying to beat his time of two years ago.
He said: "In 2005 I completed the course in just over four hours, so this year I'm targeting three hours 30 minutes., "Competing in the London Marathon is a fabulous experience and I know Roger will love it, even if it is a struggle."
The event will be a new experience for Mr Maddams.
He said: "I've never done anything like this before, so it's all a new challenge to me."
The pair have the backing of their respective running clubs.
Mr Maddams has recently joined Cherwell Runners and Joggers, and Mr Robinson is secretary of Banbury Harriers.
