About the Event

Abandon all technology and embrace pure, raw navigation at The Drop - Glasgow, one of the UK's most unique and challenging military-inspired adventure races on Saturday, 16 August 2026. Starting from the Ocho event centre in Glasgow's Speirs Wharf, this event flips traditional racing on its head: you'll surrender all electronic devices, be blindfolded on a bus, and dropped at a secret rural location to find your way back using only your wits and sense of direction over a 10 or 15-mile "crow flies" distance. This is a true test of resilience, mental fortitude, and resourcefulness, where the only rule is to rely on yourself, with disqualification for breaking the seal on your emergency bag. Choose your challenge solo or in a team, and prepare for an unforgettable journey where the real finish line is the profound satisfaction of conquering the unknown. Are you ready to face The Drop?

About Glasgow

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland on Clydeside in the Central Belt. Glasgow reinvented itself from the 1990s, one of the most successful examples in Britain, with a range of developments in industry, culture, cuisine and architecture. It's now a lively destination meriting several days to explore, and with excellent visitor amenities in all price brackets. Its deep-red sandstone buildings have been scrubbed free of grime and the city is glorious in the sunshine, but it's a year-round place with plenty to occupy the dreich days.
