The Jackson Boys Race to Survive

Oliver Dev and Corry Jones are featured on the current season of Race to Survive: New Zealand. Race to Survive is a competition where contestants must rely on a combination of endurance racing, survival skills, and intuition as they navigate 150 miles of New Zealand’s harshest terrain. Contestants have to climb mountains, raft down rivers, rappel down cliffs, and in new this season, contestants were given no food. They had to forage, hunt, or earn every calorie. It’s like an adventure race on steroids. Nine teams of two compete for a grand prize of $500,000.
