Unlike the 10-mile and 15-mile version, The Drop 6 is only open to people who live 30+ miles from the venue.
No shortcuts. No “I know where we are.” No local advantage.

The Drop 6 removes all local knowledge and forces you to think, move and adapt just like a true Dropster — blindfolded, disoriented and dumped somewhere unknown, with just six miles between you and the finish line.

The Drop 6 is our brand new short-format version of The Drop: a 6-mile, stripped-back, full-pressure microadventure built for speed, instinct and decision-making.

You’ll board the vehicles then be blindfolded.
Get dropped in an unknown location.
No GPS. No map. No watch. No clues.
Your only mission: get back to HQ and ring the bell.

This is one for the outsiders.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Arrive at HQ, register, hand in your phone and valuables

2. Board the deployment vehicles, blindfolds on.

3. You’re driven out and dropped somewhere unknown

4. Blindfold off — clock starts the moment your feet hit the ground

5. You find your way back to HQ, however you can, without tech

6. Ring the bell to stop the clock, celebrate, recover

Live GPS Tracking

Our live GPS tracking system is provided as an optional feature for your convenience and safety. While it’s not included in your entry fee, you’ll have access to it and can share your progress with others using a password we’ll send a few days before the event.

Key Information:

• Accuracy: The GPS trackers are accurate within 5 metres but can be affected by tall buildings and black spots. There may also be a slight delay between your actual location and what appears on the map. You might notice your position "catching up" after a gap.
• Placement Matters: For the best performance, place the tracker in an outside pocket with a clear view of the sky. Poor placement can weaken the signal, resulting in less reliable tracking – this applies to all GPS systems.

Sharing Your Location:

To share your tracking:

1. Send friends or family the event website link.
2. Provide them with the login details we’ll send you via email.
3. They can use your bib or tracker number to view your progress.
4. Viewers can customise the map, showing only your tracker or including others for extra fun. (We’ve heard it’s entertaining to see someone take a wrong turn!)

Important Notes:

• Tracker Returns: All trackers must be returned to a staff member at the end of the event. If not, a £175 replacement fee will apply.
• Features for Safety: As organisers, we have access to additional safety features not available to participants.

Enjoy the thrill of the race and the excitement of being tracked in real-time!
