Race Across The World: £20,000 Up For Grabs!
With no air travel, mobile phones, and a limited budget, pairs of contestants in Race Across The World must rely on their wits and resourcefulness to navigate their chosen route and reach checkpoints before their rivals. This gruelling challenge sees participants relying on the kindness of strangers for lifts and assistance, making for a truly unpredictable adventure.
The experience promises to be life-changing, but what awaits those who conquer the race? The winners of Race Across The World receive a prize of £20,000 to be shared between the pair. This substantial reward represents a testament to their resilience, teamwork, and strategic decision-making throughout the competition.
The challenge is not for the faint-hearted, demanding participants to budget carefully and often find creative ways to earn extra funds along the way. However, the rewards are worth the effort, especially for those who manage to outsmart their competitors and claim the coveted prize.
Celebrity Race Across The World:
In 2023, the BBC launched a celebrity version of the show, featuring four well-known faces and their family members. The line-up included McFly's Harry Judd, ITV weather presenter Alex Beresford, All Saints singer Mel Blatt, and racing driver Billy Monger.
Each celebrity was joined by a family member as they embarked on a ground-level race from Marrakech, Morocco, to Tromso, Norway. Beresford was accompanied by his father Noel, Blatt raced with her mother Helene, Judd competed alongside his mother Emma, and Monger teamed up with his sister Bonny.
The BBC has confirmed a second series of Celebrity Race Across The World, set to begin on Wednesday, 14th August, on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Viewers can expect another thrilling season of adventure, unexpected challenges, and heartwarming family moments as these celebrities face the ultimate test of their resilience and travel skills.
