Less than a year on from the St Albans duo's victory, BBC One has released a casting call for the new series of Race Against The World.
In 2024, the series was a ratings hit with almost four million people tuning in to watch the St Albans locals complete their epic journey from Japan to Indonesia.
Applications have now opened for a new group of travellers to face off for the top prize.
A description of the show read: "On a limited budget and away from the luxuries of modern technology and conveniences, those selected will experience life in some of the world’s most beautiful and remote locations.
"Navigating their way across thousands of miles, they will travel through spectacular scenery and dynamic cities, visit ancient wonders, learn local customs, and take part in time-honoured traditions. "
Last year's series featured St Albans residents Alfie Watts and Owen Wood.
The series follows pairs as they embark on a race across three continents, with the pair who cross the winning line first netting the jackpot.
Alfie has since become a travel content creator with almost 200k followers, while Owen is still training to be a pilot and an ambassador for charity The Mix UK.

The pair said their friendship carried them through the gruelling race.
At the time, Alfie told the BBC: "I think that's what gave us a bit of an advantage, we know what each others limits are and we were just there to have a good time.
"We had very different priorities in the race, Owen wanted to experience a lot more and go home with experiences and I wanted to get to the top of the tree."
Owen added: "We went into it as best friends and came out of it as best friends."
Applications close April 6, 2025.
