Calling adventurers from Tyrone - could you be the next star of Race Across the World?

HAVE you ever dreamed of ditching your phone, packing a bag and racing across the globe on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure?

Well, this could be your moment. BBC One’s BAFTA-winning hit series Race Across the World is gearing up for another exciting series - and producers are on the lookout for contestants from Tyrone to take part.

Applications are now officially open, and the hugely popular show is encouraging people from across Northern Ireland to throw their hats into the ring.

The format is as thrilling as ever. With only a limited budget and no access to modern technology or luxuries, selected contestants must navigate thousands of miles across some of the world’s most breathtaking and diverse landscapes. Along the way, they’ll journey through spectacular scenery and vibrant cities, discover ancient wonders, learn local customs and take part in time-honoured traditions.

But Race Across the World is about much more than the physical challenge. The emotional journey is just as powerful. Past contestants have used the experience to reconnect with loved ones, challenge themselves in new ways, mark a turning point in their lives, or explore a deeply personal reason for travelling.

Whether you’d like to race with a family member, best friend, partner, or even someone you’ve lost touch with, the show is looking for pairs with a story to tell and a sense of adventure to match.

If you’re ready to swap the familiar for the extraordinary, applications can be made online at: eu.castitreach.com/ag/lambert/ratw7/

The closing date for applications is March 29, so there’s plenty of time to apply - but don’t leave it too late.

To get inspired, previous series of Race Across the World are available to watch now on BBC iPlayer.

So Tyrone, if you’re craving adventure, challenge and an unforgettable experience, this could be the race of your life. Terms and conditions apply.
