World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji

World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji is a 10 episode Amazon original event series hosted by Bear Grylls. It is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on August 14, 2020. It is a reboot of Eco-Challenge, a TV series that aired in 1995 created by Mark Burnett.

Premise
The series hosts 30 teams comprising of 330 competitors from 30 different countries racing for 11 days across Fiji until only one team is victorious. The teams raced over mountains and through dense jungle enduring pain and exhaustion.

Behind the scenes
Bear Grylls found it difficult watching competitors drop out of the event, after expending so much effort, but said "at the same time, those that endured, whether or not they won, it wasn’t really about the winning. This is an expedition with a stopwatch, is how I always kind of see this, and just to complete it is a huge achievement."

A father and son team also impacted Grylls, who commented on a father who had been newly diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease racing with his son: "That was a very emotional journey for them to race together, for the son to want to be alongside his dad".
