The Drop - Bath
Join The Drop - Bath 2025
We put you on a bus... We blindfold you... We take you to an unknown location... You have no tech, no map, no watch, no idea where you are... Will you make it back to HQ or be lost for ever?
Drawing on a bit of military expertise, we've crafted what might be the UK's most challenging race - The Drop - Bath.
Participate solo or assemble a team however you like. During registration, you'll surrender all electronic devices, including phones, watches, and any cash. In return, you'll receive a race number and an emergency bag.
You'll then be blindfolded and transported by bus to a drop location, a straight-line distance from the event center. From that spot, you'll be released with a single objective: find your way back to the event center.
No Map. No GPS. No Route. No Help. No Compass.
You'll be fully self-sufficient from the moment you step off the bus. Whether you choose to run, walk, or crawl, the journey back is entirely up to you.
