The Drop - Bath

The Drop is an exhilarating challenge that strips away all certainties and forces you into a world where every decision counts. Unlike traditional races, The Drop doesn’t come with predetermined routes or markers; instead, it presents participants with the daunting task of finding their own way back to the event center from an undisclosed location.
### Choose Your Distance
The core experience is available in two distances: 10 miles and 15 miles (as the crow flies). Both options present a stripped-down navigation challenge where you must rely on your wits rather than any navigational aids. The 15-mile option offers an extended duration, pushing participants to their limits both mentally and physically over a longer distance.
For those who are new to the area or unfamiliar with local terrain, there's also the Drop 6 event—open exclusively to non-locals. This shorter but no less intense challenge ensures that all competitors face the same level of uncertainty without leveraging any local knowledge.
### The Challenge
Upon registration, participants must surrender their electronic devices, watches, and navigational aids in exchange for a sealed emergency bag. Once aboard the bus, you’ll don blackout blindfolds (or approved alternatives) before being transported to your drop-off point—unknown until that moment. When the blindfold is removed, it’s up to you to navigate back using only natural landmarks.
### Rules and Restrictions
The rules are strict: no GPS devices or unauthorized maps can be used during the race. Participants must remain on foot without shortcuts or assistance from others. The emergency bag provided must stay sealed; breaking this rule results in disqualification.
Participants receive detailed instructions about start times, cut-off points, required equipment, and safety guidelines ahead of time to ensure a smooth experience.
### Live GPS Tracking
For those who want an added layer of security during the race, live GPS tracking is available as an optional feature. This allows friends or family to follow your progress in real-time through our online platform.
The Drop isn’t about speed—it’s about resilience and mental fortitude. It challenges you to stay calm when certainty disappears and find a path forward using only what nature provides. Whether you choose the 10-mile, 15-mile, or Drop 6 option, The Drop is an unforgettable adventure that tests your limits in ways no other race can.
