Ennis has set a fundraising target of £20,000 for the challenge which will begin in Leicester Square and finish at Pacific Quay.
He will complete a marathon every day as well as cycling ahead of the BBC charity night in November.
He will be joined by a host of special guests and Brown is the first name to be announced.
Brown said: "What a challenge this guy is taking on and I will join for some of it."
Ennis added: "I am going to run and cycle from Leicester Square in London to Pacific Quay in Glasgow.
"This will be a marathon a day plus mileage of a similar nature on a bike every day."
His fundraising page said: "Shaun Ennis, managing director of Digi Care Health UK, is taking on the challenge of a lifetime, running a marathon a day, with added cycling mileage, as he makes his way from Leicester Square in London to Pacific Quay in Glasgow.
"And he won't be doing it alone, special guests will be joining Shaun along the route to show their support and help raise awareness.
"First confirmed special guest is former Celtic and Scotland captain Scott Brown.
"This isn't just a personal endurance test.

"Shaun is doing it all to raise vital funds for BBC Children in Need, supporting vulnerable children and young people across the UK.
"Every mile matters, every donation counts.
"Please dig deep and help Shaun raise significant funds for a truly great cause.
"Together, we can make a lasting difference, one step at a time."
More than £1,300 has already been raised on a JustGiving page since the challenge was launched.
Brown made 407 appearance for Celtic between 2007 and 2021 before he retired and moved into management with Championship side Ayr.
Children in Need will take place this year on 14 November.
