Overview

[edit]

The second celebrity series of Race Across the World is a race over 12,500 kilometres (7,800 mi) starting in Belém, Brazil and finishing in Frutillar, Chile.

The race is to have five checkpoints with enforced rest periods, with contestants only finding out the next destination on departure from a checkpoint. Each team is given a budget equivalent to the air fare for travelling the race route. Contestants are not permitted to subsidise their budgets, but short-term opportunities allow them to work for money or bed and board. The contestants are not allowed access to telephones or the internet, but are provided with a map, travel guide and GPS tracker.
