The Drop Winchester is a navigation based running event in Winchester, Hampshire. The challenge begins at The Handlebar Cafe and takes participants away from the city by bus to an undisclosed drop point before releasing them to navigate back independently.
The course is entirely self navigated with no marked route, no GPS and no guidance. Runners choose their own paths across a mix of urban streets, riverside paths, trails and surrounding countryside, with distance depending on the route taken rather than a fixed measured course.
This Winchester event focuses on decision making, adaptability and endurance rather than pace. The varied terrain and lack of set route create a unique running experience across Hampshire, combining urban navigation with off road sections and open landscape travel.
