Race to Survive is back for its second season on the USA Network, this time tackling New Zealand. In episode 5, we saw one team go home, and I caught up with them to share their thoughts on everything that went down on through their time on the show.

Race to Survive: New Zealand airs Mondays on USA and is available on Peacock the following day.

In the most harrowing outdoor adventure competition yet, challengers must rely on a combination of endurance racing, survival skills, and intuition as they navigate 150 miles of New Zealand’s harshest terrain. From the depths of ancient caves to frigid alpine summits, every step and every calorie is hard-earned. However, strength and speed alone won’t be enough to win $500,000. Rather, only those with the strongest will to survive can claim this life-changing prize.
