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.

They really are.

I love how excited Kush was about the Mongolian throat singer.

There is something very charming about their delight in all the things they’ve encountered.

That bus is so beautiful

Haha Harrison

I love how the community gets together in a village hall for a dance.

It’s a bit like rural Scotland tbh.

I’m a bit behind so will read later, but the boys musical talents were not what I expected.

No. That was a surprise.

I was thinking that. Like Local Hero or The Wicker Man .

Seems to have gone wrong for Mark and Margo.

I get the rural Scotland comparisons

I like Katie having the confidence to say “We’re doing this”

Mark and Margo are fucked

I've probably gone a bit early because I'm not watching live tonight, but have made a new thread

Hope we can all safely navigate our way over there in a timely fashion and without blowing the budget .

I suggest staying on this one for a bit longer ...

Mark & Margo haven’t moved properly for ages. And taking photos of camels isn’t probably helping the issue

Stop harassing the camels Julia

Mark & Margo have given up on winning, and are just having a lovely holiday

Molly and her dad have loads of their budget left.

A new tv show idea. 10 young adults addicted to social media/ phone go to Mongolia and told to live life as a local for 6 weeks. See what happens

Well done boys

18 hours difference but it’s still light so must be summer time. Yet there’s a lot of snow on the ground. I find that mind blowing somehow

Harrison is struggling but what's happened to Mark and Margo?

Oh dear!

Oh gosh, it's getting tense for Margo and Mark

I don't understand how Margo & Mark got so behind

it was bad luck for mark and margo, such a shame
