Race Across The World: The Experience is the official experience of the hit TV show, and it has all the stuff you love: exploring, budgeting, and working together as a team. But this time, you won’t have to leave your cherished pooch!
All three versions of the Race Across The World experiences have dog-friendly routes, so if you have a pup at home who’s keen for an adventure, by all means, bring them with you!
Here are just a few of the reasons why having your dog accompany you on your Race Across The World experience in London or Manchester is a great idea!
They’ll Give You Moral Support
Race Across The World: The Experience is a battle of wits as well as stamina, and it’ll always be to your advantage to surround yourself with great teammates, no matter who that is.
There are plenty of puzzles to be solved, hidden corners to be explored and a guestbook to be signed, so we want everyone who wants to join the race to be able to have a great time!
The races can all be made wheelchair and pram-friendly, and if you select the dog-friendly route while setting up your race, your dog will also be able to enjoy the experience by your side!
They Make Every Selfie 10x Better
You could say we’re biased, and we’ll admit it: we love seeing your photo submissions of your four-legged pals!
There’s just something about seeing a team have a great time with their furry friends that makes us feel good.
During Race Across the World: The Experience, teams are prompted to take (totally optional) photos and upload them to their dashboard. So if you fancy it, snap away!
They’re Just as Adventurous as You
At its core, Race Across The World: The Experience is an adventure, and we’re pretty sure that having an adventurous spirit isn’t exclusive to humans.
After all, many dogs are blessed with super sensitive noses, a curiosity that gets them into all sorts of trouble and let’s not forget those adorable ears that lift when they hear something intriguing…
In fact, we can name loads of explorers who have a four-legged friend as a trusty sidekick. So if you want to join their notable ranks, you know what to do!
They’ll Help You Explore More Mindfully
Following on from that point… you know when you’re out for a walk and your dog finds everything fascinating, including the same lamppost you’ve both walked past a million times before?
Well, we’re here to say that, in this very specific instance, your dog has the perfect attitude for playing Race Across The World: The Experience.
Whether you’re a local or a visitor to London or Manchester, the experience is all about seeing a city in a whole new light. No need to sniff everything you pass (please leave that to your dog!) but sometimes, you never know what’s hiding in plain sight without giving it a second glance.
They’ll Enjoy Getting Their Steps in Too
No public transport is allowed during Race Across The World: The Experience, so if your dog is the type who never wants their daily walk to end, they’ll love this!
We’ve had participants tell us they’ve clocked up as many as 16,000 steps during the race, and while that might sound overwhelming, don’t worry, there are built-in opportunities to rest (and give your pal’s paws a pause!).
They’ll (Probably!) Love Being Part of Your Team
Finally, It’s no coincidence that dogs have earned the nickname “man’s best friend”, and since you have the option, it makes absolute sense to bring your bestie along for your adventure!
However, please bear in mind that while the dog-friendly routes have been created to give dogs and their owners the best possible experience, you may find that the streets are especially busy during peak times such as evenings and weekends.
Dogs who dislike crowds or loud noises might find the city streets overwhelming, and in that case, it might be best to make alternative arrangements for them.
