Four familiar faces team up with a loved one for a transformative experience that will push them to their limits, journeying to places they would not otherwise venture. Leaving behind their creature comforts, the pairs will undertake an epic 5,900km race through the entirety of Central America.

They say goodbye to their VIP lifestyles, smartphones and bank cards. Armed with just a map and a limited budget, they must race to reach the finish line. Tested to the extremes, they need to rely on their ingenuity as well as the kindness of strangers on an unforgettable but at times punishing adventure. Once again, joining the celebrities are their nearest and dearest, providing a unique insight into the people we think we know through the eyes of those who truly do.

Competing this series are broadcaster Roman Kemp and his sister Harleymoon, Big Boys and Derry Girls actor Dylan Llewellyn with his mum Jackie, broadcaster and writer Anita Rani with her dad Bal, and actor and singer Molly Rainford along with her partner, presenter and DJ Tyler West.

The race begins on Isla Mujeres, the easternmost point of Mexico and a sacred island of the Maya. The teams must pass through five checkpoints to reach the finish line on the Guajira Peninsula, the northernmost region of South America.

They will journey across varied landscapes, from the golden sand beaches of the Caribbean coastline, through indigenous highland regions, to Panama City, the cosmopolitan heart of Central America, bypassing one of the world's most dangerous migration routes, the Darien Gap, to end on the primitive desert headland of Colombia.

Roman (32) and Harleymoon (35) are first to arrive, hoping to evolve their relationship from strictly siblings to solid friends. Roman, the self-confessed worrier of the pair, leans on his free-spirited older sister when race decisions get tough.

Next to arrive is Anita (47) who can't wait to take her dad Bal (68) on the adventure of a lifetime. Having worked so hard his entire life, they have never even holidayed together. This will be the first time they have spent so much time in such proximity to each other since Anita left home. Determined to prioritise their experiences along the way, they visit ancient Maya ruins in Belize.

Dylan (32) and his mum Jackie (59) start off on a hesitant foot and are quick to assume the self-proclaimed title of 'Team Tortoise'. Determined to do their own thing and avoid stress, they set their sights on having fun in cultural capital Merida, hoping to pick up speed using expensive train transport.

Young couple Molly Rainford (24) and Tyler West (28) are more accustomed to all-inclusive, resort-style holidays, but they鈥檙e ready to switch things up and embrace the backpacking experience they missed out on when they were younger, starting with a job at a habanero chilli farm off the grid in rural Mexico.

As the series unfolds, relationships will be tested, friendships formed and chance encounters will create experiences like no other in awe-inspiring locations. With these famous faces being pushed like never before and just their loved ones for support, the race is well and truly on.
