'The Meaner We Are, the Better We Get Along' Say Race Across the World Siblings

Siblings Katie and Harrison from Manchester are competing on BBC’s Race Across the World, a 12,000‑km trek across Europe and Asia for a £20,000 prize (about $25,400). The race forces five duos to travel without phones and survive on a daily budget of less than £26 per person (roughly $33), supplementing funds with odd jobs. The pair say their sibling rivalry actually strengthens their bond, with Katie noting that “the meaner we are to each other, the better we get along.” Their youthful age and close relationship add a fresh dynamic to the high‑stress, low‑budget adventure format.
