With little more than the shirts on their backs, two teams compete in a gruelling cross-country race that takes them up cliff faces, through the desert and across raging rivers. And if that isn't hard enough, both teams have to carry their potential prize money as bundles of cash! That's a little over a hundred grand each and it's heavy. The first team to finish the race pockets the money they managed to bring with them.

The rules are simple - the journey is anything but. The race tests the teams' ingenuity in carrying the cash past the finish line. But they are not merely going on an arduous trek. Throughout each self contained episode there are a number of situations where the teams are forced to make some serious decisions. For instance, there's a construction challenge requiring the teams to create an invention to move their cash past a major natural obstacle. Whether it's a complicated pulley system, or a keystone bridge, it's going to take all the inventiveness, teamwork and common sense they can muster.

The design of the race constantly forces the contestants to question the value of their team mates and even the prize itself. The fewer people who finish the race, the more money they each get. But the price of relying on fewer people is to carry a heavier burden. Of course, the participants can always decide to lighten the load and leave some of the money behind. It's the show's ultimate dilemma.
