About the race

The Drop - Newcastle is a unique and challenging race held in Newcastle, 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 navigational aids, participants must find their way back to the event center using only their wits and sense of direction.

The race emphasizes resilience and resourcefulness, with strict rules against shortcuts and unauthorized equipment. Optional live GPS tracking is available for safety and spectator engagement. The event is based near The Cosy Dove in Spital Tongues, with convenient public transport and parking options. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
