The Drop - Manchester

Deansgate, United Kingdom • 5 Oct 2024

The Drop - Manchester is an innovative and challenging running event that offers participants a unique experience with 10 and 15-mile options. Competitors are required to surrender all electronic devices and money at registration, receiving only a race number and an emergency bag in return. Participants are then blindfolded and transported to a drop location, where they must navigate their way back to the event center without any maps, GPS, or external assistance. This self-sufficient race emphasizes endurance and navigation skills, with a strict cut-off time of 4.5 hours for the 15-mile distance.
