The Drop - Norwich
The Drop - Norwich is an event organised by The Drop UK, with the next race listed as 11/01/2026. The event centre address is Harriets's Cafe Tearooms, 38 London Street, Norwich NR2 1LD. Distances offered are:

Format, rules and logistics
Participants register and hand over electronic devices and watches in exchange for a race number and a sealed emergency bag. Participants board a bus, wear a blackout blindfold or safety goggle alternative, and are driven to an undisclosed drop-off location. From the drop-off, participants must navigate back to the event centre; distances are measured as the crow flies and actual routes may be longer.
The event specifies no map, no GPS, no compass, and no outside help unless provided by organisers. Opening the emergency bag seal results in disqualification. Live GPS tracking is available as an optional, paid feature; trackers are accurate within 5 metres but can be affected by buildings and black spots, require good placement, and must be returned or a £175 replacement fee applies. Parking is limited in the city centre and car sharing is recommended. Nearest public transport points are Norwich train station and Norwich bus station.
