Could you be part of the winning team on Race Across the World series three? With applications closing in a matter of days, sign up now for your next great adventure...
BBC Two’s Race Across the World are searching for new contestants for their exciting third series.
Fans of the show that are over 18 are invited to apply in a team of two, with the closing date for applications on Friday 4 February.
The thrilling adventure-filled series sees pairs racing from the same start line to reach a destination thousands of miles away. Those who get to the finish line first, win. Sounds simple enough, right?
But there is a catch. Contestants cannot use modern technology, including travelling by plane and using credit cards.
On their journey, those chosen to take part will have the chance to discover local cultures and see some of the world’s most beautiful places.
The 2020 series was a race across Latin America, starting in Mexico City and travelling to Ushuaia in Argentina. The winners received a huge £20,000 prize.

The BBC said: “We are on the hunt for dynamic duos, looking for a big adventure.
“Maybe the restrictions of the pandemic have sparked your wanderlust? Do you feel the need to re-evaluate an important relationship or share this journey with someone special?”
They continued: “They say that travel broadens the mind and you never return home the same. So, whatever your reason for signing up, apply today and your next big adventure could be starting sooner than you think.”
