Absolutely buzzing for some of our EPiC Runners today!

Between them they took on the Morecambe 5k, 10k and Andy did a Half Marathon and every single one of them did themselves proud.

A few were chasing personal bests. Others simply set themselves a challenge and got it done.

That’s what we love about EPiC Runners. It’s not about being the fastest. It’s about turning up, backing each other, and proving you’re capable of more than you think.

We’re incredibly proud of every one of you today. What an achievement! 😁

Now put your feet up, enjoy the medals (and that breaky!) and know you’ve inspired a lot of people. 💜🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Yesterday at the 10.30am group they didn’t bother with photos! Would you in that rain?! 🌧️
But still they turned up and ran!

Evening group had new runners and with 2 groups, one new for couch to 5k and one for the faster runners it was a night of achievement.

WELL DONE!

We know there were some amazing overcomers and you should be PROUD! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️

Massive thanks to Run Leader Rob Sutcliffe who never lets us down. You’re the best! 🌟🌟🌟

Every run won’t save a life. But one run might start a conversation that does.

Today is Global Running Day and we’re proud to have not one, but two EPiC Runners groups taking to the roads and trails of Wigan.

It doesn’t matter if this is your first time, or you’re returning after a break, or chasing your next goal, come and join us!

🕥 10.30am
🕖 7pm
📍 William Fosters Playing Fields, (meet inside) Ince, WN2 2BE

Running tops. Free showers. Support from England Athletics Run Leaders. Mental health support if you want it. Good company whatever pace you run.

See you later. 🏃🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♀️

Funny how a run can start with “I nearly didn’t come” and finish with “I’m so glad I did.”

EPiC Runners is on tomorrow, and every Wednesday at 10.30am and 7pm.

Some people join us to improve their fitness. Some come for the chat. Some just need a reason to get out of the house. Whatever brings you along, you’ll find good people waiting.

We offer
👟 Couch to 5K support
🏃 Different groups for different abilities
💜 Mental health support if you want or need it
🚿 Free showers
👕 Free running top
💧 Free water bottle
🏅 Qualified England Athletics Run Leaders

We meet at
📍 Leisure United William Foster Sports Building
The Grove, Ince, WN2 2BE

You don’t need to be a runner to start. You just need to start 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

Someone who walks through our doors in suicidal crisis doesn’t care where the hope came from. They just need it to be there 😢

That’s why we’re excited to have places for the Wigan 10k again this year.

With only 100 days to go, 9 places have already been snapped up!😮

Whether you take part yourself, get a group together, or rally your workplace, every pound raised helps us continue providing lifesaving su***de prevention support across our communities.

Want a place?

DM us your email address and we’ll send you the details. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💜

WE ALWAYS APPRECIATE JOINING JACK! ♾️
