The Drop offers a 15 and 10 mile options.

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.
