Organiser's description

​We put you on a bus...
We blindfold you...
We take you to an unknown location...
You have no tech, no map, no watch, no idea where you are...
Will you make it back to HQ or be lost for ever?

'The Drop'

Using a little bit of military know how we have come up with possibly the most challenging race in the UK! 

The Drop offers a 15 and 10 mile option.

Solo or make up a team of anyway you want. 

At registration you will hand over all electronic devices, phones, watches and money! In return you will be given, a race number and an emergency bag.

You will be placed on our bus, blindfolded* and then driven to your drop location (The distances are as the crow flies) from the event centre. Here you will be released, all you have to do is make your way back to the event centre. 

No Map
No GPS
No Route
No Help
No Compass 

You are fully self sufficient from the moment you leave the coach, make your own way. So run, walk or crawl your way back.
 
 
Be warned now, the distances are as the crow flies
*blindfolded, we will be using blackout safety goggles, we appreciate that some people may have problems but don't worry we have an alternative! 
 
The following will get you disqualified;
Using of a gps device. Recording your progress is acceptable, but the device you use will have to be sealed in the emergency bag. (We will supply this all you have to do is seal!)
Using a map other than any that we choose to give you or not!
Using anything except your own two legs to get you to the finish!
Breaking the seal on the emergency kit bag
