Organiser comment:

Thanks so much, Birmingham Hopkins! We’re chuffed you enjoyed the event and really appreciate the kind words about the organisation. Brilliant to hear you’d recommend it to others — that’s the best compliment we can get. Hope to see you on another adventure soon! #Dropster #microadventure

Makes a refreshing change from the usual well marked and aid stations routes this is all about diy

Birmingham was different than Manchester as you where looking for a small area within Birmingham area where as Manchester or Carlisle you are looking for the city then the final area my only complaint was did notice the taxi driver had his phone between his legs and was checking it but apart from that another cracking run not sure where next one will be will check list and pick another random one for fun

Thanks, David! Really glad you enjoyed the DIY twist — it’s what makes The Drop stand out from those usual marked routes. Appreciate the honest comparison between Birmingham and Manchester too, that’s useful feedback for us. Sorry to hear about the taxi driver, we’ll make sure that’s followed up. Hope to see you on another “random pick” adventure soon! #Dropster #microadventure

A great running event, especially if you're looking for something different to the usual half

It's a shame about the trackers not being available on the day.
It wasn't obvious that we'd run with our phones (in the bag) on the day, nor could we ask for directions.

Great fun!

Would be great to get tracked next time so people from home can watch us getting lost!

Enjoyed this different approach to racing

Lots of fun with friends. You dont often spend so much time looking at the scenery around you in a race.

Having not seen anything like this advertised before I was very excited to see an event like this. It did not disappoint. Had such a fab day navigating back to the start point. Would definitely recommend.
