On Sunday, two members of Newport & District Running Club took part in the Walton Winter Wobble, a 10k race which features an out-and-back course starting and finishing at Walton-on-the hill, just outside Stafford. Featuring a number of hills, including one that is around a mile long, the route takes runners up onto Cannock Chase via Brocton Road, Walton Lane and Chase Road, before returning back to the start along the same route in reverse.
