The world is vast, unpredictable, and brimming with adventure—are you ready to explore it?
Race Across the World, BBC One’s BAFTA-winning hit series, is back, calling for bold and adventurous duos of all ages to take on the ultimate journey. This extraordinary reality competition challenges participants to step away from modern conveniences, ditch their smartphones, and navigate the globe with only their resourcefulness, grit, and a limited budget to guide them.
Embarking on an epic race across continents by land and sea, contestants will traverse thousands of miles, uncovering the breathtaking beauty of remote landscapes, bustling cities, and hidden cultural gems. From ancient wonders to vibrant local traditions, every step of the journey is a chance to connect with the world in its rawest, most authentic form.

But the true essence of Race Across the World lies beyond the physical adventure. As teams face unpredictable challenges and unforeseen obstacles, they’ll forge deeper connections with one another and uncover inner strengths they never knew they had. It’s more than a race—it’s a life-changing odyssey of self-discovery, perseverance, and unforgettable experiences.
Are you ready to leave the familiar behind and embrace the unknown? The journey of a lifetime awaits.
