The Drop Edinburgh is a navigation based running event in Edinburgh that removes all traditional route marking and places runners at an undisclosed drop point. Participants are transported by bus, blindfolded, then released and required to find their way back to the event hub without GPS, maps or navigation aids.
The event offers 6M, 10M and 15M options measured as the crow flies, meaning the real running distance is often longer depending on route choice. Runners typically move through a mix of urban streets, parks, riverside paths and suburban routes while navigating back towards central Edinburgh.
This Edinburgh navigation race is designed for runners looking for something beyond a standard road or trail event, combining endurance running with route finding, decision making and an unpredictable city landscape.
