ONE of the entrants in this weekend's Bromsgrove Fun Run will have a distinct advantage -- an extra pair of legs.

Zola, the marathon dog, will take part in the 10km Leuk-aemia Research Fun Run on Sunday at Bromsgrove Rugby Club, in Finstall Road, along with more than 250 people.

Reading man Dave Hydon has taken Zola on more than 50 competitive races to raise money for charity.

Refreshments, a barbecue and cake stalls at the event will help dog-tired runners recover.
