Endurance Performance and Coaching Centre (EPACC)
"To provide an endurance performance environment that supports, challenges and develops elite runners, inspires beginners, fosters and tests talent and promotes excellence in the coaches who work with them."
The St Mary’s Endurance Performance and Coaching Centre (EPACC) was formed in early 2010 by Sport St Mary’s in partnership with Virgin London Marathon and as an England Athletics Coach Development Centre.
The Centre provides support to the large population of student athletes at St Mary’s along with international level athletes who have made the University College their training base, and seeks to benefit the wider development of endurance running.
The objective is to create a performance environment within which athletes are able to live and train together in high quality groups, whilst also offering a variety of educational opportunities.
The EPACC is an England Athletics Coach Development Centre; it recognises the vital role of coaches and the importance of coach/athlete relationships and provides support aimed at developing coaches.
Over the past decade St Mary’s has developed a growing reputation as one of the country’s top endurance venues with athletes such as Mo Farah, Andy Baddeley and Jo Pavey along with groups from Kenya, Australia, New Zealand and the US choosing to base themselves in the area.
