About the Event

Abandon all navigation and embrace pure instinct at The Drop - London, an extreme urban survival challenge taking place on Sunday, 1st March 2026. Beginning at the Up & Running store in London, this uniquely demanding event strips away every modern aid: after handing over all electronics, you'll be blindfolded, driven to a secret drop-off point, and tasked with finding your way back using only your wits. Choose between the 15-mile or 10-mile "as the crow flies" distance, where the real route is a mystery you must solve alone or with your team. This is not a traditional race but a thrilling test of resilience, strategy, and raw orienteering skill, set against the vast, unfamiliar backdrop of Greater London's urban and green spaces. With a sealed emergency bag as your only lifeline and strict rules ensuring a pure adventure, it’s the ultimate challenge for those who believe the greatest rewards lie beyond the map. Dare to be dropped and discover what you're truly made of.
