Event summary
The Drop - Newcastle (Summer) event organised by The Drop is set to take place on Saturday 14th June 2025. This unique and challenging race offers participants a 15 or 10-mile option where they are blindfolded and taken to an unknown location via bus. Stripped of all technology and navigation tools, runners must find their way back to the event centre using only their instincts and determination. Teams are welcome to participate, but all electronic devices, phones, watches, and money must be surrendered at registration in exchange for a race number and emergency bag. The race prides itself on being fully self-sufficient, with no map, GPS, or compass allowed. Participants must rely solely on their own two legs to make it back to the finish line. It's a thrilling and exhilarating challenge that promises an unforgettable experience for all those brave enough to take it on.
