The Race Is On And the Betting Markets Are Heating Up
With four pairs remaining and the finish line drawing ever closer, betting experts are now firmly focused on who will be crowned the winners of Race Across The World Series 6.
The sixth series began airing on 2 April 2026, with racers starting from Palermo in Sicily on an epic 12,000km journey across Europe and Asia, ultimately bound for Hatgal by Lake Hövsgöl in Mongolia.
Last week's latest leg, a gruelling journey from Tbilisi in Georgia all the way to Zaamin National Park in Uzbekistan, delivered one of the most dramatic episodes of the series so far, and it has reshuffled the odds considerably.
For those looking to see how their favourites fare in the odds, betting experts have the full winner market available ahead of what promises to be a thrilling final stretch.
Katie & Harrison: From Fourth to First in One Stunning Leg
If there is one narrative that has defined Leg 5 of Race Across The World, it is the remarkable resurgence of Manchester siblings Katie & Harrison Devine.
Having slipped to fourth place in Leg 4, their worst finish of the series, the brother and sister pairing responded in the most emphatic fashion possible, arriving first at Zaamin National Park and re-establishing themselves as the team to beat.
Their route from Aktau told the story perfectly. Opting for the shorter but less reliable transport links rather than the longer route through Kazakhstan, Katie & Harrison caught up with Andrew & Molly at Beyneu and shared the same train to Nukus.
From there, their decision-making was sharp and decisive. A detour to the Mizdarkhan burial sites, a cultural stop that added richness to their journey without costing them their lead, was followed by a taxi straight to Zaamin National Park. They arrived first, 37 minutes ahead of their rivals.

The Rest of the Field: Who Can Still Challenge?
Jo & Kush are the most compelling threat to Katie & Harrison's dominance.
The Liverpool childhood best friends, 19-year-old student Jo Diop and 19-year-old Kush Burman, finished second in Leg 5, arriving just 37 minutes behind the leaders.
That gap is negligible in the context of a race that has seen teams separated by hours, and their back-to-back top-two finishes in Legs 4 and 5 suggest a team that has found its rhythm.
At 5/2, Jo & Kush represent the most credible alternative in the market, and a strong opening to the next leg could see those odds shorten considerably.
Andrew & Molly find themselves in third at 4/1. The father and daughter pairing from Maghera, 54-year-old teacher Andrew Clifford and 23-year-old junior doctor Molly, have been consistent without ever quite threatening to take control of the race.
Their Leg 5 decision to visit Khiva proved costly, adding significant time to their journey and leaving them third at the checkpoint, 3 hours and 44 minutes off the pace. There remains enough quality in this pairing to cause an upset, but they will need a near-perfect leg to close the gap.
