Where To Find The ‘Race To Survive: Alaska’ Survivalists On Social Media
Get to know the "Race To Survive: Alaska" contestants via their social media feeds ahead of the premiere.
The premiere of USA Network's survival competition series, "Race to Survive: Alaska," is just a few weeks away on Monday, April 3 at 11 p.m. ET/PT. However, it's never too early to get to know the contestants. The series features eight teams of two, comprised of a diverse array of expert survivalists specializing in everything from rock climbing to extreme adventuring. While the $500,000 prize awarded to the team who can come out on top of 40 days and six endurance challenges is nothing to sniff at, it's kind of just icing on the cake to these incredible contestants with long resumes of physical and professional achievements who would do this kind of daring trial anyway.
Everyone is fascinating and some even share their past and current adventures on their social media feeds. As a rare breed of exceptional competitors, their activities are a compelling window into their lives that could help measure how they'll do on "Race to Survive: Alaska." To get people excited for the daring, high-stakes race, we've compiled the social media handles for many of the team members so you can start picking your personal favorites now.
