Applications to take part in Race Across The World close this week!

The BBC are seeking pairs to compete in the next series of Race Across The World, but if you want to take part, you only have until this Sunday 5 May to apply!

Filming of the next series is expected to take place between October and December 2024 and you’ll need to be available for up to eight weeks. All participants must be over 18 years of age.

Race Across the World, BBC One’s BAFTA winning hit series, is back and searching for intrepid duos, of all ages, ready to take a step into the unknown and embark on an epic race across land and sea. 

On a limited budget and away from the luxuries of modern technology and conveniences, those selected will experience life in some of the world’s most beautiful and remote locations.   

Navigating their way across thousands of miles, they will travel through spectacular scenery and dynamic cities, visit ancient wonders, learn local customs, and take part in time-honoured traditions. But the physical journey is only half of the story…   

As they take on the challenge of travelling across the world, perhaps the greatest thing they’ll discover is about themselves and one another.   

Producers are now accepting applications for the next series of Race Across the World. This experience is open to all, whether you’re a seasoned traveller or total novice. The BBC want to hear what undertaking a trip like this would mean to you, and with a cash prize at stake, what lengths you would go to to win.   

Maybe you’re looking to change something in your life? Or are keen to share the journey with someone special like a family member, best friend, or someone you’ve lost touch with. You may even have a very personal reason for wanting to travel at this time in your life or explore a particular part of the world.   

If you’re up for the challenge, you can apply here.
