About the race
The Drop - Kendal is a unique and challenging UK race held in Kendal, offering participants a 10-mile or 15-mile course to complete solo or in teams. The event is inspired by military-style endurance and navigation challenges, where runners are blindfolded and dropped at an undisclosed location. Without maps, GPS, or compasses, participants must find their way back to the event center using only their wits and determination.
The race emphasizes resilience and resourcefulness, with strict rules against using electronic devices or shortcuts. Optional live GPS tracking is available for safety and spectator engagement. The event is based near Elephant Yard in Kendal, with convenient public transport and parking options. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
