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.

The editing deliberately makes it difficult to tell.

True That

He talks about control a lot. She is 24 years old.

Aw lovely party

The boys 🙌🙌

Their faces, adorable.

I’ve had to switch over 🤯 my phone ExH lived and worked in Kazakhstan and promptly decided living a double life would be a good idea..needless to say it blew apart our little family and sadly the program is now unwatchable. Enjoy.

Gosh!

What did Katy say then, which Harrison replied ‘ Absolutely not!’.

She needed to buy moisturiser and some leggings.

The friendship that the two boys have is beautiful. I’d give worlds for a friend like that.

Thank you. That’s so funny!

It’s lovely to see more of Molly. She’s got a real natural ability with people. We didn’t see that early on.

I'd love if Katie and Harrison or Mark and Margo won, then Molly and Andrew third, and Jo and Kush run out of money or have a travel disaster. I just can't take to them at all.

I think Andrew gave a good explanation as to why he's so protective of Molly. He grew up during the troubles in Belfast which would seriously rock your foundations and sense of security and safety. I have friends and colleagues from Belfast which are similar age to Andrew and it has most definitely left its mark. Is Molly an only child? I can't remember. She was obviously raised well to be so happy, confident and secure in her relationship with her Dad.

But surely he would have those feelings of not wanting to let go when she was younger, say 16 or 18. She's had several years at uni and qualified as a doctor. How can he not see her as independent already?

Just loving this series. I don’t mind who wins really.

How can he not see her as independent already?

He obviously does but she must be close to qualifying so I guess could end up working anywhere. He's not stopping her in any way just coming to terms with I guess a new stage in her and his Life

Aww the boys made me cry at the end!
Why do they all run for the checkpoint but don’t run anywhere else?!! I’m hosting they’re told they have to. Loved how Katie said ‘sprint is not in my vocabulary’.

I was so delighted for the boys, their reaction on seeing the blank page of the book was great. As pp said, they have a lovely friendship. They're only 19, I think they're doing amazing.

I still don't really get it.

I quite want Molly and her dad to win now

Really enjoying this series.

You are not alone I find Margo especially extremely irritating

I love the boys they are my favourites . Margo still irritates me a lot I'm indifferent to Mark.

Walnut grove looked magical. Mountains stunning. Adding Kyrgyzstan back on to my 'to-visit' list!
