The Drop - York Evening Event

York, United Kingdom • 10 May 2027

Event Concept

The Drop is a running event with a unique navigation challenge. Participants are transported by bus to an unknown starting location without access to technology, maps, or watches. The objective is to find the way back to the event headquarters using only traditional navigation skills.

Event Details

The organizer is Organic Adventure Ltd. The event format involves a blindfolded bus journey to a secret drop point. Runners must then navigate back to the finish line. Past participant feedback mentions receiving a commemorative mug at the end of the run and the use of GPS tracking devices for online spectator viewing. Distances vary; feedback references a 10-mile option, with one participant noting their total run distance was approximately 22 km.

Event Information

Further resources are available, including navigation tips and tricks, event day paperwork, and a photo gallery. A "Couch To 10-Mile" training plan is also offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
