The final of BBC’s Race Across the World is just around the corner and Welsh contestant Cathie and best friend Tricia have made it to the last leg of the competition. Over the course of eight weeks, viewers have enjoyed watching the best friends trek across Canada in a bid to win £20,000.
Speaking to WalesOnline ahead of the series finale, Cathie and Tricia revealed that they have “bittersweet” feelings about the end of the Race. “It was amazing. There were definitely a lot of, ‘Am I actually here? Am I actually doing this?’ moments,” Tricia said. “The Canadians were so friendly and the country is so beautiful. It's also a little bittersweet because it’s coming to an end and I'm really sad that the race is going to be over.”
“It’s been wonderful watching our journey,” Cathie echoed. “We were there and we know what happened to us but we don’t know what the others did and what their experiences were so it’s been really lovely seeing that. I don’t want it to end." Over the course of the show viewers have particularly enjoyed seeing Cathie and Tricia’s friendship on screen - read about some of the things they’ve had to say here.
