About this event
The Drop offers an unusual challenge for runners who want to test their navigation skills alongside their endurance. Participants are driven to an unknown location and must find their way back on foot, using instinct and problem-solving rather than GPS or marked routes. Three distances are available — 6, 10, and 15 miles — with the shorter option welcoming those newer to this style of event. Without checkpoints or aid stations, it becomes a genuine test of self-reliance and mental resilience. The format strips away the usual race infrastructure, creating a raw, personal experience that draws runners together through shared uncertainty. For anyone curious about orienteering or looking to push beyond familiar territory, this December event near Nottingham provides a distinctive alternative to traditional road races.
