After seven weeks, countless border crossings, and nearly 13,000 kilometres of travel, Race Across the World reaches its dramatic conclusion this Wednesday, June 11 at 9 PM (21:00) on BBC One. The four remaining teams embark on the final leg of their epic journey, racing from Goa to Tamil Nadu, India, with a £20,000 prize on the line.
Just 1,200km separate the teams from the finish line at Kanniyakumari, the southernmost tip of India. But after traversing China, Nepal, and most of India – including the two most populous countries on the planet – the real challenge may not be the distance, but the emotional weight of the journey. Relationships have been tested, deepened, and re-evaluated, and the final push will demand every ounce of resilience the teams have left.
This season has pushed the boundaries of adventure travel, taking viewers on a rollercoaster ride through crowded cities, remote landscapes, and unexpected cultural encounters. The final episode will likely spotlight both strategic maneuvering and last-minute dashes to grab transportation. But beyond the competition itself, the series has explored the human side of travel, from the frustrations of language barriers to the unexpected kindness of strangers.
Race Across the World airs Wednesday at 9 PM on BBC One.
