Running In Staffordshire
Staffordshire is pretty much in the middle of England and the M6 motorway which dissects the county south to north means it is a hub of commercial activity. In sharp contrast there are some surprisingly remote areas including the Staffordshire Moorlands with the highest village in Britain at Flash.
In the north and in the south the county is hilly, with wild moorlands in the far north and Cannock Chase an area of natural beauty in the south. In the middle regions the landscape is low and undulating so interesting terrain for runners who like to head for the great outdoors.
The county is home to over 1 million people with Stoke and the surrounding areas - Arnold Bennett's much loved Five Towns - the most populous area. The other important towns include Tamworth, Newcastle and Stafford. And these are all home to flourishing running communities based around established clubs, a growing network of groups and some terrific events.
Any Staffs based enthusiast looking for an event should head to the website of the North Staffordshire Road Runners Association and choose from the 20 events they list. The NSRRA programme commences with the popular Alsager 5 in February and concludes with the Cheddleton 10K in November and includes everything from 5K to 20 mile distance and all points in between.
