Ton of Cash

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 extremely heavy bundles of cash. The first team to finish the race pockets the money they managed to bring with them.

The rules are simple; however 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 as they’ll encounter challenging situations which will force them to make serious decisions.

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. The ultimate dilemma is to decide whether to lighten the load and leave some money behind.
