Hey epyic Crew,
Happy 2026. Hope you had a spectacular New Year break and are feeling excited for a year of amazing adventures outdoors.
We’re mixing things up this week. Alongside our usual weekend adventures, we’ve added some retreats & multi-day adventure inspo. You can find even more on epyic.com.
Because easing back into work is best done when the next escape is locked in.
From next week, we’ll start a weekly spotlight on local clubs to help you ace those 2026 goals. We’ll be kicking off with running clubs, so stay tuned!
See you out there,
Team epyic, Stella & Chris
