Much-loved, BAFTA-winning series Race Across the World returns to iPlayer and BBC One for a sixth series on Thursday 2 April
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.
In a race without smartphones or bank cards, and only the cash equivalent of flying the route, the race will test the five teams both physically and emotionally, pushing them to their absolute limits. Only one team can emerge victorious as they battle to be the first to reach the finish line and claim the £20,000 prize.
