After a thrilling finale atop a volcano, the celebrity edition of Race Across the World has finally come to an end.
The spin-off series took viewers to South America, with four couples trekking from the Amazon in Brazil to the Andes in Chile. Earlier this year, the main series travelled to Asia, with five couples attempting to travel from Japan to Indonesia.
The show is a great way to discover parts of the world that might not have been on your radar before, and to think about how best to approach a race on a budget. But when will the BBC hit return? We’ve rounded up everything we know so far.

- Series 1: From London to Marina Bay (Checkpoints in Greece, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, China, Cambodia and Singapore)
- Series 2: From Mexico to Ushuaia (Checkpoints in Honduras, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Argentina and Brazil)
- Series 3: Vancouver to St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador (checkpoints all in Canada)
- Celebrity Series 1: From Marrakech to Tromsø (Checkpoints in Portugal, France, Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany and Norway)
- Series 4: From Sapporo to Gili Meno (Checkpoints in Japan, South Korea, Cambodia, Thailand and Indonesia)

Key places that were not visited on this list include the United States, Africa and OceaniaOf course, there are also large areas of Europe and Asia that have remained untouched.
