Using a little bit of military know how we have come up with possibly the most challenging race in the UK! 

The Drop offers a 15 and 10 mile option.

Solo or make up a team of anyway you want. 

At registration you will hand over all electronic devices, phones, watches and money! In return you will be given, a race number and an emergency bag.

You will be placed on our bus, blindfolded* and then driven to your drop location (The distances are as the crow flies) from the event centre. Here you will be released, all you have to do is make your way back to the event centre. 

No Map
No GPS
No Route
No Help
No Compass 

You are fully self sufficient from the moment you leave the coach, make your own way. So run, walk or crawl your way back. Cut off time 4.5 hours (15 mile).
