Race Across the World: Canada

Hit global competition series Race Across the World returns with a new nine-part series. The third instalment of the BAFTA-winning series is set to be the most extreme to date, with five pairs of intrepid travellers racing across an entire continent - ocean to ocean. Starting out at the very edge of the Pacific in Vancouver, the teams travel over 16,000 kilometres across six time zones, all at ground level, to the finish line perched on the rugged Atlantic coast: North America's most easterly city, St John's in Newfoundland. Without the use of air travel or any of the trappings of modern-day life, the pairs must navigate their way through the very edges of civilisation, taking in vast prairies, untouched wilderness, and great lakes with only the cash equivalent of the airfare to their final destination.
