Mumbai: Popular host and adventurer Bear Grylls will be hosting a new reality competition series World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji.
The 10-episode adventure series is about the expedition race, in which 66 teams from 30 countries race non-stop for 11 days, 24 hours a day, across hundreds of miles of rugged Fijian terrain complete with mountains, jungles and oceans. The show was filmed in Fiji last year.
