The marathon man will be running Sandwell's Big Sleuth project, which sees a collection of colourful creations dotted around the borough as part of an art trail.

Dave will also be joined by his running partner Tony Ellis, as they set off the light-hearted mission amidst their current 24 Great Runs series continuing throughout this year.

The bear figurines have been created as part of a 10-week project called the Big Sleuth, which aims to raise money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

"If you go down to the woods today you're sure of a big surprise...", Dave laughed.
