The Drop - Winchester

Winchester, United Kingdom • 26 Apr 2026

The Drop - Winchester is a unique and challenging race held in Winchester, UK, offering participants a choice between 10-mile and 15-mile distances, either solo or in teams. Inspired by military-style navigation, the event requires runners to find their way back to the event center from an undisclosed drop-off point without maps, GPS, or compasses. Participants board a bus blindfolded and are dropped off at a location measured "as the crow flies" from the finish, making the actual route longer and more demanding. The race emphasizes resilience, resourcefulness, and navigation skills in a thrilling atmosphere. Live GPS tracking is available as an optional safety feature.
