About this event

The Drop strips urban running back to pure problem-solving. Participants hand over their phones, get blindfolded, and are driven to an unknown location around Manchester. The challenge is finding the way back on foot — no GPS, no compass, just instinct and navigation skills. Runners choose between 10 or 16-kilometre routes, piecing together their location through city streets, suburban paths, and country lanes. There are no checkpoints or aid stations, making this a raw test of self-reliance and mental resilience. It's an unconventional format for experienced runners looking beyond traditional races, where the route itself becomes the puzzle to solve.
