Season 6: 9 x 60'
Seasons 1-5: 42 x 60'
Much-loved, BAFTA-winning series Race Across the World returns for a sixth series. In the toughest journey yet, five intrepid teams will travel more than 12,000km across Europe and Asia – their route carving through multiple distinctive countries including Italy, Greece, Türkiye, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and finishing on the shores of Lake Khövsgöl, in northern Mongolia.
The teams include: best friends, Jo and Kush, siblings, Katie and Harrison, father and daughter, Molly and Andrew, cousins, Puja and Roshni, as well as in-laws, Mark and Margo.
Leaving behind their smartphones, internet access and bank cards, the race tests the five teams like never before, pushing them to both their physical and emotional limits. But, with their feet on the ground and their eyes wide open, the rewards are great, and the memories everlasting. But only one team can emerge victorious as they all vie to be first and claim the cash prize of £20,000.
