A new weekly run club is helping people get active, meet others and improve their wellbeing.

The Healthspan Salisbury Run Club meets every Wednesday at 9 Butcher Row for a free 5km group run starting at 6pm.

It welcomes runners of all abilities and requires no booking.

Tim Hampton, store manager at Healthspan and a keen runner, said: "As a keen runner, I wanted to create an opportunity for people in Salisbury to get out, meet others and enjoy being active together.

"Whether you’re new to running, returning after a break or already running regularly, you’re welcome to join us.

"We’ve started with a small group and would love to see it grow.

"There’s no charge and no need to book, just come along ready for a 6pm start on Wednesday."

The run club forms part of Healthspan’s wider aim to build a community around its Salisbury store by offering both practical health information and opportunities to get involved.

On Wednesday, October 14, the store hosted a free cholesterol talk with registered nutritionist Rob Hobson, which was attended by 15 guests.

Seven runners joined the club on the same evening.

Tim said: "Having people come in for Rob’s talk and others join us for a run on the same evening was a lovely example of what we want to build here.

"People have different interests and starting points when it comes to their health, and we want them to feel welcome.

"We plan to keep growing the run club and hosting expert health talks, helping more people in Salisbury feel informed, supported and connected."

In addition to the group run, participants can enjoy a special in-store discount and the option to shop after the event.

The club’s approach reflects Healthspan’s goal of making the shop not just a place to buy products, but a space for people to connect and feel supported in their health journey.

The Healthspan Salisbury Run Club takes place every Wednesday at 6pm from 9 Butcher Row, Salisbury, SP1 1EP.

The 5km run is free, open to all abilities, and aims to accommodate a range of paces.
