New USA reality TV series Race to Survive Alaska is a high-stakes outdoor competition series. Eight teams are given the task of racing over 100 miles across the inhospitable Alaskan tundra with meager supplies in the hopes of winning $500,000 at the end of it all.
Here's everything you need to know about Race to Survive Alaska, from the premiere date to how the game works to the duos that will be playing.
When does Race to Survive Alaska premiere?
Race to Survive Alaska premieres with a supersize episode on Monday, April 3 at 11 p.m. ET/PT following WWE Monday Night RAW.
How does Race to Survive Alaska work?
According to USA, "Set along the wild and dangerous Alaskan coastline, adventure racers and survival experts must endure more than 100 miles of inhospitable terrain with nothing but what they can carry to claim a life-changing $500,000 prize. Contestants must utilize a combination of endurance racing, primitive survival skills and bushcraft as they navigate the mostly unchartered wilderness with sprawling mountain ranges, ancient glaciers, threatening wildlife and suffocating rainforests. The stakes couldn’t be higher for the teams as they race across unforgiving land in the ultimate test of person verses nature, where winning is the goal, but survival is the challenge.
Over the course of six weeks and six races, the eight teams of two will traverse through the harshest Alaskan landscapes, having to source their own food and water while charting their own path on previously unexplored terrain. The duos must survive off the unwelcoming land as they battle every element while being relentlessly pursued by their competition. In each leg of the race, the last team to reach the finish line will be eliminated from the competition. Tested like never before, participants will endure physical pain while forging alliances and backstabbing their way to claim a spot in the finale and the chance to win the $500,000 if they can survive the hostile land ... and each other."
