BBC’s Race Across the World is an incredible adventure where pairs navigate through foreign lands without smartphones and limited resources – the finale of the Celebrity edition has just wrapped up.
Earlier in 2025, the main series once again explored Asia, starting from The Great Wall of China and concluding at Kanniyakumari, the southern tip of India, covering a grueling 14,000km. Teams faced challenges with public transport, financial constraints, and harsh environments along the way.
