RAMS legends Brian Clough and Peter Taylor are to be honoured with a new charity run around Donington Park race track.
The Clough Taylor People's Run will take place for the first time in March and will offer both a 10k and 1k event.
It is being held in memory of the former Derby County boss and his assistant, who helped the team to the First Division title in the 1971-72 season.
The idea behind the event came from Jim Cowan, from Nottinghamshire, who founded People's Events, which organises charity fund-raisers.
Mr Cowan said he had wanted a tribute to the famous pair which people could take part in.
He said: "I should say first that I'm not a Derby County or Nottingham Forest fan but I am an old school football fan and I loved watching Brian Clough.
"I saw all these statues and things honouring him and Peter Taylor and I thought 'you can't take part in a statue.' So I had the idea for a run."
His first plan was to close off the A52 between Derby and Nottingham and have the run along the road.
He said: "This was an idea that was really well received and we had everyone onside – everyone apart from the Highways Agency.
"They wouldn't agree to close the road."
He then approached Donington Park, the Castle Donington circuit, and inquired about holding the event.
"They said, Jim, we have a closed road right here and they were happy to hold it."
The plan is for the first Clough Taylor People's Run to take place on March 10.
There will be a 10k race around the track and a 1k race which uses only the Melbourne loop of the track.
Standard entry fees are £20 each but people booking by the end of this year pay £15.
Mr Cowan said: "There are statues and there are books, but only by taking part in the Clough Taylor People's Run can you join thousands of others in saying thank-you in a meaningful way and in a way which helps others too.
"I am a football fan and a motorsport fan so to be able to run around this famous track in honour of these legends is a fantasy for me."
He said a launch event was being planned for January.
The run will raise money for three charities, Cerebral Palsy Sport, Hope Against Cancer and the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.
