USA Network's new hardcore survival series Race To Survive: Alaska season 1 is all set to premiere on Monday, April 3, at 11:00 pm ET, featuring eight teams battling it out against each other. They will have to endure some of the most gruesome challenges in the Alaskan wilderness as a team to stay in the running for the $500,000 grand prize.
Race To Survive: Alaska contestants -- who come from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences -- will be seen battling in pairs. The participants have also gained enough experience in survival skills but nothing has prepared them for the Alaskan adventure. They will be pushed to their limits and tested on many of their abilities to see which team can take it all the way to the end.
