A fun run through Sutton Coldfield is to get maximum coverage in the local paper - with every angle being captured on film.

Observer photographers Paul Barber and Paul Kyle will be training their lenses on the runners to produce hundreds of pictures for a magazine The Million Pound Fun Run.

More than 4,500 people are due to take to the streets tomorrow for the Royal Sutton Fun Run, which last year broke the £1m fund-raising barrier for local charities.

Editor Gary Phelps said the Observer had been keen to do something special for this year's event - and the magazine would help boost the cash total.

He said: "We plan to have so many pictures of this year's event in the magazine that most runners will either be in it or will know someone in it.

"The Observer will have a team of photographers and reporters there on the big day, at the start and all along the route of the run.

"We really want to create something that runners will keep as a souvenir of this year's event."
