Race To Survive

Race Direction, Field Operations, Safety Management and Challenge Production

GETTING THE RIGHT PARTNERS INVOLVED

Season 1 of Race to Survive, produced by Original Productions, relied on our experienced team to safeguard contestants and crew as they navigated Alaska’s harshest landscapes. We oversaw field operations, including marine and air coordination, designed and executed a comprehensive production risk management plan, and led crew onboarding in sustainable wildlife awareness and survival skills, ensuring compliance with local regulations. Additionally, we played a key role in course design, ensuring the race was both challenging and logistically feasible. We laid the foundation of support for the production team to manage the series.

For Season 2, we took on the challenge of Race Direction, working closely with a local team that managed operations. We focused on shaping the cast experience by collaborating on course design, establishing rules, and ensuring fairness with outside compliance, all while aligning with the show's creative vision. This required close collaboration with the Executive Producer, Director of Photography, Executive in Charge, and Race Operations Manager.
