Hard work but enjoyable
Not knowing if you are headed in the correct direction, let alone the best one, adds a sense of risk. WE had no intention of being competitive, which eliminated any associated stress. Instead we enjoyed the Thames and then Oxford City (which tells you we were far from on the best route)!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We love that you embraced the adventure and made the most of the journey, even if it wasn’t the most direct route. That sense of risk and discovery is exactly what makes The Drop so unique! The Thames and Oxford are stunning places to explore, and it sounds like you had a great time soaking in the scenery. We’re all about the experience, not just the competition, so it’s brilliant to hear that you enjoyed it stress-free. Hope to see you at another Drop soon!

Well-organized, very unique, very fun
Wonderful crowd, small-ish race, fun environment that's not super competitive because of the nature of the race. (Being blindfolded in a bus with ~70 others, all wearing bright orange blindfolds, is a very memorable experience!)
And definitely a challenge, but one that feels safe, doable, and adventurous.

Great day out with friends

A real challenge
Me and my sister did this because we’ve done half marathons and assault courses and we wanted a challenge and this was it. The challenge of studying a place we didn’t know and the routes: the thrill of going down a road when others went a different way and discovering the footpath you hoped was there, and whilst it was a race there never felt any pressure to try and come first. And everyone else running was really friendly. Definitely doing more
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you and your sister found the event to be a real challenge and enjoyed the thrill of exploring new routes. It's wonderful to know that the atmosphere was friendly and that you felt no pressure during the race. We appreciate your thoughts on beginner-friendliness and will keep that in mind for future events. We look forward to seeing you both again for more exciting challenges ahead!
A mad concept but great fun
Really enjoyed the event, it's nice to go on a run without the pressure of a time or a distance. A really enjoyable day, with the lovely weather helping
Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We're so glad you embraced the "mad concept" and had a blast! It’s great to hear you enjoyed a run without the usual pressures—just good vibes and great weather. We like to think of it as a fun adventure rather than a race! We appreciate your recommendation and can’t wait to have you join us for more fun times ahead!
