The Drop - Halifax

The Drop - Halifax is a unique and challenging race held in Halifax, UK, offering participants a choice between 10-mile and 15-mile distances measured as the crow flies. Inspired by military-style endurance, the event requires runners to navigate back to the event center from an undisclosed drop-off point without maps, GPS, or navigational aids. Participants board a bus blindfolded and must rely solely on their wits and sense of direction to complete the course.

The race emphasizes self-reliance, with strict rules against using electronic devices or shortcuts. Optional live GPS tracking is available for safety and spectator engagement. A 25-mile ultra version is planned for 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
