Just two more legs remain. After starting the race 41 days ago on Canada’s Pacific coast, the teams now have the Atlantic within their reach - lapping the shores of the seventh checkpoint at the seaside town of Liverpool, Nova Scotia.
To keep their lead, Zainib and Mobeen aim to test the local hospitality to the limit but a trip to catch a naturally occurring phenomenon may derail all their hard work. Meanwhile, Claudia and her father Kevin have very little funding left and need to find a way to avoid elimination. Friends Tricia and Cathie are struggling under the pressure of the competition, causing serious strain on their relationship. A string of failed attempts to hitchhike shines a light on the obstacles Monique and Ladi face.
As the finish line draws ever closer, the teams have to battle fog, torrential rain and the spotty Canadian transport system to gain an advantage. Only one team will ultimately win the £20,000 prize, and this competition is sure to change their lives.
