The Drop Nottingham

The Drop Nottingham begins at Up & Running in central Nottingham (postcode NG1 2DD), starting at 10:00 am. This is not a standard marked race. Participants hand over phones, watches, and maps, are blindfolded, board a bus, and are then dropped at an undisclosed location within Nottinghamshire. The objective is to return to the event centre on foot, relying on judgment, memory, and chosen routes after the blindfold is removed. The stated distances are 6, 10, and 15 miles as the crow flies from the drop point, meaning the actual running distance can be considerably greater. There are no course markers or directions provided. The route may involve a mix of trails, roads, and urban navigation, dictated by the drop-off point and the runner's ability to interpret the terrain.
