The Drop - Birmingham

The Drop – Birmingham takes place at Blackroot Bistro in Sutton Park, Sutton Coldfield (B74 2YU). Participants choose a 10- or 15-mile challenge, solo or in a team, with distances measured as the crow flies. The experience blends endurance and navigation under pressure: after registration you surrender electronic devices, board a bus, wear blackout goggles, and must find your way back to the event centre without maps, GPS, routes, or a compass.

The emphasis is on self-reliance, pace, and determination. Optional live GPS tracking adds safety, but is not included in entry. Distances are measured as the crow flies, and the actual route may be longer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
