Race Across The World is a popular BBC series that sees participants race from check point to check point in a bid to beat all the other groups to the finish line.

With no luxuries like air travel or mobile phones and a limited amount of cash, groups of two must make their own decisions and hope that the route they take gets them to the checkpoints before other groups.

The participants can rely on help from strangers for lifts and extra help but sometimes this can be harder than you might think.

Those who take part are sure to experience things they never have before as they travel through countries but what is the end prize? Here’s what we know.

What does the winner of Race Across The World get?

At times, the challenge can be tough with those taking part having to budget and often work along the way to earn some more cash.

It’s all worth it in the end though, especially if you get to take home the prize at the end.

All pairs that win Race Across The World receive £20,000 between them.

Is there a Celebrity Race Across The World?

The BBC released its first ever Celebrity version of the show in 2023 with four celebrities and they’re family members racing alongside them.

McFly star Harry Judd, ITV weather presenter Alex Beresford, All Saints singer Mel Blatt and racing driver Billy Monger took on the challenge last year.

The three celebrities were joined by a family member as they raced at ground level from Marrakech in Morocco to Tromso in Norway.
