The Drop - Manchester

Deansgate, United Kingdom • 4 Oct 2025

The Drop - Manchester is a unique and challenging race held in the city, offering participants a 10-mile or 15-mile course to complete solo or in teams. Inspired by military-style endurance, the event requires runners to navigate back to the event center from an undisclosed drop-off point without maps, GPS, or any navigational aids. Participants board a bus blindfolded and are dropped off at a secret location, then must rely on their wits and sense of direction to find their way back. The race emphasizes resilience and resourcefulness, with strict rules against shortcuts and unauthorized navigation tools. Live GPS tracking is available as an optional safety feature.
