It\u2019s almost time for Race Across The World to finally return to our screens and while we\u2019ve had the celebrity version<\/a> to fill the void, nothing quite beats the original format, does it?<\/p>\n

The fourth season of the hit show returns next week<\/a> on Wednesday 10th April and will once again see five intrepid duos<\/a> trying their hardest to reach the checkpoints first with no access to mobile phones, internet access or bank cards. Ultimately, they\u2019re relying on the kindness of strangers and as we\u2019ve seen in the past, it really can be make or break.<\/p>\n

Previous seasons have taken us all around the globe and this time round, the five pairs will be tackling the\u00a015,000 kilometre race across several countries in Eastern Asia.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s season saw best friends Cathie and Tricia<\/a> take home the cash prize of \u00a320,000, but who will reign supreme this time round? There are two mother-daughter duos, siblings, best friends and a retired couple who all think they have what it takes to reach that finish line.<\/p>\n

With a new trailer<\/a> for the series having just dropped, what else can we expect from the new series? Read on for everything you need to know about Race Across The World season 4.<\/p>\n

As with the previous three seasons of the original series, Race Across The World is all about regular people trying to navigate international travel so we can, undoubtedly, expect some big personalities and clashes coming our way.<\/p>\n

Some of the most enjoyable watches of the series so far have been in the familial duos and this time round, we\u2019ve got plenty. There are two mother-daughter pairings in the form of snowboard instructor Brydie and cleaner Sharon, and teacher Eugenie and trainee clinical scientist Isabel. There\u2019s also brother and sister, social media and events manager Betty and sales consultant James.<\/p>\n

We also have 20-year-old best friends, Owen (trainee pilot) and Alfie (football referee) and retired married couple, Stephen and Viv.<\/p>\n

    In the journey, they will also come across the path of the \u201cvolcanic ring of fire\u201d, which is known as \u201cthe most geologically unstable region on the planet to reach the finish line in Lombok, an idyllic Indonesian island paradise\u201d, according to the series synopsis.<\/p>\n
