Race Across The World 2026

[LindorDoubleChoc]

Hooray!

This is back for another series, starting Thursday.

I just googled very quickly and they set off from Sicily and end the race in northern Mongolia - sounds interesting.

I don't know anything else about it at this point, but thought that we should have a thread ready and waiting.

Checking in, absolutely love it!

Yeah... checking in

Following closely - love this !

I love Race Across the World. 😃

Oooh me too!

Love it as well.

Love it!

Wow, that sounds like an interesting route. Shot before it all kicked off in Iran, obviously. I wonder if the infamous Caspian Sea ferry bottleneck will occur again?

Thanks for the thread, signing in ☺️

I'll be watching!

Throwing my towel on the sunlounger... Thanks for the thread!

Can’t wait!

Checking in as I can’t wait either.

Marking my place. Love this show

Can’t wait. Love this show! Hopefully more travel and less sob story this year…

Agreed!

I really hope so too, but I already fear there will be an extremely hefty amount of back story and relationship bobbins. I went back and had a look at the 2025 thread to refresh my memory of last year - and we all felt short changed on the interesting "nitty gritty" aspects of the travel.

But of course I will be watching again!

I’ve read one couple is a man and his dead wife’s sister so already I see emotion…

Thanks for the thread! Cant wait for 8pm tomorrow

I can’t wait. I don’t know how the production team do it but the contestants are always so well selected. Half the time even those I start off not liking win me around.

Ooh excellent. Will be watching

Can't wait love this series, one of the few things my kids watch with me

So looking forward to this as I'm in Sicily on holiday in 5 weeks time.

Signing in! Excited

Please be good, please be good, please be good.
