Don’t switch off yet. BBC usually runs a “Where Are They Now?” segment. Contestants reunite. They compare calluses and stories. One couple admitted they didn’t speak for three days after the race. Brutal honesty.
You’ll also get a blooper reel. Highlights include a contestant accidentally boarding a cargo ship, and another trying to pay with a Canadian Tire coupon (it didn’t work). Pure gold.
Then comes the official announcement for the next season. They drop a teaser—usually a blurry shot of a map. Fans go wild. The guessing game starts all over again. It’s like Christmas morning for travel nerds.
Finally, the One Thing You Must Remember
Race Across the World is not a normal race. It’s a test of patience, courage, and dodgy Wi-Fi. The finale is just the cherry on top of a chaotic cake. So, mark your calendar. Set a reminder. And prepare to cheer for strangers who you now love like family.
When is the final? Soon enough to obsess over, but not so soon that you forget to buy snacks. Check BBC’s site weekly. Trust me—the suspense is part of the fun. Now, go practice your sprint to the remote control. The race is coming.
