"Race Across the World" is back, as five teams attempt to race sixteen thousand kilometres through the second largest country in the world – Canada. Without smartphones, internet access and credit cards, and armed only with the cash equivalent of the airfare to fly the route, our teams travel this extraordinary journey at ground level. Their skill, ingenuity and determination will be tested to the extreme as they race through some of the world’s most remote regions, where they must also rely on the kindness of strangers in order to stand the best chance of reaching the finish line. This series takes viewers on the trip of a lifetime, following our racers as they embark on an epic and adrenaline-fuelled adventure, travelling into the unknown without the trappings of modern life.
Our five pairs must race across the breadth of Canada, passing through seven checkpoints, taking them from the Pacific coastline, to the edges of the Arctic and the shores of the Great Lakes, to reach their final destination on the Atlantic Ocean; St. John’s on the island of Newfoundland, the most easterly town in North America. As they experience beautiful scenery, bonds will be formed across cultural divides and relationships will be tested as never before.

Episode 2
The race to St. John’s is underway and the five pairs leave the indigenous island of Haida Gwaii and head into the wild, navigating their way into the heart of the Yukon to the second checkpoint - Dawson City - a boom town established during the Klondike gold rush of 1898. Getting to Dawson means completing a journey of over 2000km north up one of the most isolated highways in the world, the vast wilderness only occasionally broken by the odd small settlement or truck stop. The racers will have to negotiate dense forests and vast ice fields, all with next to no public transport
Race leaders, Claudia and her dad Kevin are the first to leave with a slender 2-minute advantage over their rivals. After a budget-busting taxi ride in the previous leg, the team opt for a no-frills strategy of camping and car sharing. As the leg progresses they try and repair their relationship and make up for lost time, but the relentless journey takes its toll on Claudia who reaches breaking point.
Best friends Tricia and Cathie set off with different priorities. Self-confessed control freak Cathie is anxious about venturing into the unknown and being reliant on others, whereas ‘gung ho’ Trisha wants to get going and experience all she can before she loses her sight completely; they decide to gamble, spending big to take matters into their own hands. A job working on the shores of vines lake gives Cathie a moment to reflect on her work life back home and how the race could be the perfect tonic after a stressful few years.
To get them to Dawson City, married couple Zainib and Mobeen continue to rely on the kindness of strangers and hope to save money by ride sharing their way to the checkpoint. Through the leg, Zainib recognises the cultural pressure she faces back home and after a sheltered upbringing is yearning to break free from those expectations, and feels now is the perfect time to have an adventure and take some risks, much to Mobeen’s surprise.
Having never owned a backpack prior to setting off from Vancouver, Monique’s education continues. Father Ladi is hopeful Monique will recognise her privilege through the race but the leg gets off to a difficult start when Monique has to camp for the first time. As the pair journey through the magnificent landscapes of British Columbia, and experience the wonder of the Bear Glacier, Monique starts to see the beauty Canada has to offer.
Estranged brothers Marc and Michael leave the checkpoint in last place, and things go from bad to worse when Marc’s fear of bears causes a spat between the pair. After a slow start they try out an alternative approach to the race and focus on getting to know each other as brothers. As the team who know each other the least, can they overcome their struggles and learn to open up to each other and start thinking smarter as a team?
The race is on, and the stakes are higher than ever before as the legacy of the pandemic throws extra challenges at our travelling couples who all want to be first to the finish line and win the £20,000 cash prize. As the series unfolds we will see chance encounters, cultural as well as personal revelations and some of the most awe-inspiring locations on the planet. The thrilling unpredictability of the race is sure to change the teams lives forever. The Race Across the World continues.27/06/2024收看 -
