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.

@greyweek- Turkish inter-city buses are great (and cheap)- a steward does actually come down with a little trolley and give out drinks and snacks (included) and lots have back seat screens and free wifi. I am in Turkiye now, flew into Bodrun from my local airport and have a flight to Ankara tomorrow and then a bus to Cappadocia . Have a hotel booked for 2 nights and the plan is to get to Georgia (a place I love) but no onward travel booked 😀. I need to be in Yerevan by 3rd of May, as have plans for Armenia and flight home is from there in a couple of weeks..

They were in Muslim Turkey and drinking cherry juice. We were specifically shown the cherry juice in order to steer us away from those assumptions !

I think a lot of cherry juice could give you the runs.

Same. My guess would be some kind of mild food poisoning from how he looked.
