The Drop Liverpool

The Drop Liverpool begins with participants surrendering their phones, watches, and maps before boarding a bus blindfolded to an unknown location outside the city. This Liverpool-area navigation challenge is based at the Watersports Centre, L3 4DG, commencing at 10:00am with straight-line drop options of 6, 10, or 15 miles. From the drop point, the task is straightforward yet challenging: return to the event centre on foot by using judgment, instinct, and a sensible route choice. There are no course markings or directions provided. The advertised distances are as the crow flies, meaning the actual distance covered by runners can be significantly longer. The event takes participants across Merseyside’s surrounding trail and urban terrain, distinguishing it from a standard race and presenting it more as a mobile puzzle for weary participants.
