Bobby on the Run!
Jamie Kerr (pictured above with dog Arnie) plans to run 191 miles in order to raise money for Dogs Trust.
A police officer from Glasgow has vowed to run an incredible eight marathons this year to raise money for the canine charity Dogs Trust.
 

His epic challenge started on Sunday 16th May and in five months dog lover Jamie Kerr, 22, will take part in a selection of Scottish half- and ultra-marathons, clocking up a whopping 191 miles.
 
Jamie Kerr explains: “I’ve been really sporty all my life but I’ve never set myself a challenge like this before. I own a 15-year-old Westie called Max who has the life of Riley with our family, but I know that not every dog is as lucky.
 
I already sponsor a dog at Dogs Trust Glasgow and really admire the charity for all their work looking after abandoned dogs, so I decided to pound the pavements for hounds!”
 
His race schedule is as follows:
16 May: Monklands Half Marathon
23 May: Edinburgh Marathon
17 July: Clydestride 40 Mile Ultramarathon
22 August: John Lucas Memorial 50 Mile Ultramarathon
5 September: Great Scottish Half Marathon
3 October: Loch Ness Marathon
10 October: Salomon Turbo X 10 Mile Race
17 October: Aviemore Half Marathon
