How to apply for the next series of Race Across the World

The new series of Race Across The World starts tonight and if you’re inspired to take part, applications for the next series are now open. Here’s how you could take part.

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.

The BBC 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. Producers want to hear what undertaking a trip like this would mean to you, and with a cash prize at stake, to what lengths you would go 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 want to explore a particular part of the world.
