EPiC Runners isn’t just a running group. It’s a community. We meet every Wednesday, but the sessions aren’t only about getting your steps in. You’ll find people who care, a place to talk, and a bit of headspace as well as exercise. No matter if you’re already a runner or just fancy giving it a go, everybody is welcome!
We all know life can be really tough at times. That’s why EPiC Runners is as much about supporting your mental health as it is about getting fitter. Sometimes you need a chat, a laugh, or just someone who gets it. Other times, you just want to run and clear your mind. At EPiC Runners, you can do both. Nobody’s judging, and nobody’s left behind..

Running does wonders for your mental health. It’s not just about burning calories or building stamina. Moving your body helps your brain release chemicals that lift your mood and ease stress. People often say running helps them think more clearly, sleep better, and feel more confident. And the boost to your physical health, a stronger heart, more energy, feeds back into how you feel day-to-day. It all connects.
We’ve seen some amazing transformations! One of our runners put it best:-
“I went from doing no running at all to finishing 10k’s with EPiC Runners. Before I joined, I was really struggling. My mental health was at rock bottom and I couldn’t see a way out. Now I’m training to be a run leader myself, helping others. Running and being part of this group has honestly changed my life.”
All our sessions are led by UK Athletics affiliated run leaders, so you’re in good hands. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never run before or you’re aiming for a new personal best. Just turn up in whatever you’re comfortable in and bring yourself. We’ll take care of the rest.
EPiC Runners is on every Wednesday at 10:30am and 7:00pm. William Fosters Playing Fields, (we meet in the building), Ince, Wigan, WN2 2BE.
Everyone’s welcome! Give it a go. You might surprise yourself.
Run for YOU! Run for HOPE!
