Run the World

Run the World is the season premiere of The Challenge: World Championship.

Description[]

Host TJ Lavin brings together the most decorated Challenge Legends of all time and the fiercest Global MVPs from Argentina, Australia, the UK, and the USA for a groundbreaking and grueling new competition. Who will become the Champion of Champions?

Challenge[]

Location: Cape Town Stadium, Cape Town, South Africa
Challenge: Qualifier
The Global MVPs will compete in a qualifier challenge where they will be ranked based on the order they finish. They will complete five checkpoints.

Checkpoint 1 (Eat Your Heart Out): Players will consume a large nasty smoothie.
Checkpoint 2 (Hammer It Home): Players will use a sledgehammer to move a heavy tire proportionate to their weight to the end of the lane.
Checkpoint 3 (On a Roll): Players must use a large cement cylinder to roll across a track without touching the ground.
Checkpoint 4 (Weight for It): Players must arrange several weighted cylinders from lightest to heaviest, where the characters printed on the cylinders form an alphanumeric code. They must then recreate the code using tiles at a nearby solving station.
Checkpoint 5 (Plant Your Flag): Players must roll a heavy flagpole with their national flag across a field and plant it at the end to complete the race.

The winners of the Qualifier will be safe from elimination, while the losers will compete in the Arena.
