THE DROP
BLINDFOLDED
DROPPED OFF
NO TECH
NO MAP
DISTANCE YOUR CHOICE! 10 OR 15- MILES

We put you on a bus blindfolded, take you to an unknown location... 'Drop' you off
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?

A friendly, unique challenge... don't take our word for how much fun this is, check out the feedback.

Great event and well worth a try for a new adventure! Lots of good communication before the event and friendly, slick registration on the morning. Fun event that you won't find elsewhere and genuinely exciting to have no idea where you're going to end up and how you're going to get back! My family and friends enjoyed "dot watching" with the constant updates from our GPS tracking devices vs. other participants on the online map. It was so exciting to not know whether we were front of the pack or coming in last until we got to the end. Looking forward to taking part in the next one :) . Bekki W.

Did the 10 miles The Drop. Loved it: challenging, hard but loved it. Sabrina D.

Great event concept even if you do know the local area. The coach will try and deceive you even if you know the roads so you have no idea where you are dropped! Great event mug at the end. Liam S.

The Drop was great fun! Well organised, unique, welcoming, good atmosphere before and after. The memento was good--nice to get something other than a medal or a t-shirt. I would definitely go again! We did the 10-mile event and ended up running about 22km all in all. We though the navigation might be difficult for us, not being as familiar with the outer parts of London, but it was doable enough without any catastrophic wrong turns(!). Aoife M.
