The Salutation Pub, known by plenty of locals as “the best pub in Doncaster”, has launched a free community-run club right in the city centre.
The Sal Run Club takes place twice a month on Sundays, bringing together a happier, healthier Doncaster – what’s not to love?
The run itself is a relaxed 5k around Townfields, with all running paces welcome.
Phew.
Sal staff member and run club lead Jenny Wilsdon, is passionate about creating more than just a club, but instead a proper community.
Jenny told us: “I decided to set up the run club to bring people together outside of the usual pub environment and create more of a community feel around the venue.
“Pubs have always been social spaces, but we wanted to offer something healthier and more inclusive that gives people a reason to meet new people”
Jenny hopes the run club can become a regular social outlet to meet new people, not just a typical fitness event.
Judging by the response to their first run club taster in October, they are creating just that!
Jenny said: “The response [to our first run club] was better than we expected. There was a really friendly atmosphere with people chatting straight away.
“A few people said they wouldn’t normally come to something like this but felt comfortable coming. Seeing people come alone and then join each other after for lunch was exactly what we hoped for.”
When it’s dark and windy in the evenings, getting out for a run can seem impossible. Thankfully, this run club takes place bright and early on a Sunday morning, so now there’s no excuse not to get that heart rate up!
The best part?
All members of the run club can take advantage of some serious post-run scran at the Sal, with a 15% off discount to help refuel.
The family-owned business is an authentic Doncaster establishment, serving up proper pints and authentic Thai food in the heart of the city.
Now, they’re building something bigger than just a pub.
They’re building a community.
So get your motivation playlist ready, lace up your trainers, and join us at the Sal this Sunday at 11:30am.
