Fun tech-free run :-)
Our group really enjoyed the challenge - and the liberation of a tech-free run. Initial communication (none of us received the initial informational email so had to ask for it) could have been a bit friendlier, but on the day everyone was helpful and nice. Well organised event, everything felt safe. We've already discussed whether to do it again next year ...assume the drop off would be at a new location?
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you and your group enjoyed the challenge and embraced the liberation of a tech-free run. It’s fantastic to know that the event felt safe, well-organized, and beginner-friendly for you all. We appreciate your note about the initial communication—we’ll definitely look into improving this to ensure it’s smoother and more welcoming for future participants. And yes, you’re correct: if you join us next year, the drop-off will be at a brand-new mystery location to keep the adventure fresh and exciting! We’d love to see you and your group return next year. Thanks again for being part of The Drop Race and for your valuable feedback!
A unique adventure and running challenge
Really enjoyed the novelty of this event, it was great fun and I loved the mental challenge of wayfinding back to the cafe. I’ll definitely sign up again for future events.

Brilliant event! Loved the adventure would definitely do it again!
Well organised event.
Great atmosphere, from start to finish. Would highly recommend.
If you want to jazz up a normal 10 mile run this is definitely the event for it!

Good challenge but great fun
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the fun atmosphere and organization. Your feedback on the scenery is appreciated, and we’ll keep working to enhance the experience for everyone, including beginners. We hope to see you at our future events for more adventures!
Great well-organised event, amazing with a few changes
Overall this was a really well-run (pun intended) event that went smoothly. However, a big thing my team were disappointed in is not being able to see routes/distances covered by other teams by way of comparison in results, and since we all had trackers this should be easy to publish. It would be interesting to see what routes others did and how much mileage. Also since we had trackers and organisers could anticipate our arrival, someone out front cheering us in would’ve been nice, like at any other finish line!
As I’ve noticed others mention, a free hot drink at the end would’ve been the icing on the cake and a more specific medal (even if just the ribbon) with location/date would’ve been perfect.
Lots of tips for improvement but on the whole it was a really great event that ran really smoothly. Would recommend!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the scenery, atmosphere, and organization of The Drop Norwich. Your feedback is invaluable, and we appreciate your suggestions for improvement. We understand the desire to see routes and distances covered by other teams, and we're looking into ways to enhance that transparency for future events. Having someone at the finish line cheering participants in is a fantastic idea, and we’ll definitely consider it! As for the hot drinks and more specific medals, we love your suggestions and will take them into account as we plan future events. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to see you and your team again at our next adventure!
good fun finding our way back but expensive for what it is & a bit stingy with no drinks at the finish, this was an additional expense for participants.
Great location with drop off as none of us had a clue where we were & interestingly all participants soon were out of sight as I thought it may end up being a mass of runners. Lots of country roads & trails to pick from
Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to hear you loved the scenery and atmosphere. We appreciate your insights on the organization and the finish line drinks, and we’ll take your comments into account for future events. It’s great to know you enjoyed the location and the adventure of navigating your way back! We look forward to seeing you at our next event for more fun!
Fun event to do as a group
We really enjoyed the challenge and being localish to home was helpful for navigation. Initial communication was not the most approachable but on the day everyone was friendly and helpful. Great to be able to get a hot drink and snacks at the end while resting our weary legs.
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear you had fun with your group and enjoyed the challenge. It's great that being local helped with navigation. We appreciate your feedback on initial communication and are glad to know that our team was friendly and helpful on the day. We’re also happy you enjoyed the hot drinks and snacks at the finish! We hope to see you at our future events!
Wow,we loved this event so different to anything else and a great buzz,absolutely loved it

very unique fun race. loved it!
We knew where we were when dropped off this time so went a bit off the direct route to make it fun. Looking forward to next year already!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you found the race unique and fun, and we're glad the scenery, atmosphere, and organization met your expectations. It sounds like you had a great adventure by taking a detour! We can’t wait to welcome you back next year for more fun maybe more detours and definitely more adventures!
A really fun adventure!
I was a bit hesitant about entering this event, I was cajoled into it. I'm so pleased I was! We had a great team and enjoyed it so much.
The organisation was good with clear instructions. The area we were dropped felt like it had been well thought out. Friendly and welcoming on our return. Good to do a race with a difference.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the adventure and that you decided to participate. It's great to hear that the organization and instructions met your expectations, and we appreciate your comments about the friendly atmosphere. We hope to see you at our next event for more unique experiences!
Absolutely loved this event
But I do feel there should have been a hot drink provided at the end included in the cost not as an added extra.
Also I like medals to be dated / location - I appreciate this is extra cost to you and generic medals are cheaper but we did pay £40 to enter.
Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you loved the event. We appreciate your suggestion regarding providing a hot drink at the end, and we'll take that into consideration for future events. Regarding the medals, we want to clarify that our recycled medals are not cheaper than what you might consider generic medals; they are made with care and intention to reflect the quality of our events. We value your input and hope to see you again soon!
great little fun run if you are looking for different.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you had a great time at the fun run and found it to be a different experience. It's fantastic to hear that you rated the scenery, atmosphere, and organization so highly. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
