The Drop - York Winter Special

Using a little bit of military know how we have come up with possibly the most challenging race in the UK!

The January drop has to be the challenge of the year, we have for you a 15-mile drop or a softer 10-mile option...

Solo or in teams. (just sign up solo and run together)

Only 50 places available...

At registration, you will hand over all electronic devices, phones, watches, compasses etc! In return, you will be given a race number a blindfold and an emergency bag*.

You will be placed on our bus, blindfolded** and then driven to a location 10 or 15 miles away etc, (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.

No Map
No GPS
No Route
No Help

You are fully self-sufficient from the moment you leave the coach, make your own way. So run, walk or crawl your way back.

Be warned now, the distances are as the crow flies

*place all your items in this bag, seal it and take it with you. top tip! start your watch before placing in the bag then you can record your run.
