About Relative Race

Season four of the first genealogy-based competitive reality series, "Relative Race," will air on BYUtv beginning Sunday, Sept. 16 at 9 p.m. ET/7 p.m. MT, marking the show's first fall premiere. "Relative Race" follows four teams on a 10-day journey throughout the United States as they complete challenges, discover unknown relatives identified through DNA testing and compete for a $50,000 grand prize. This original, unscripted series continues to take viewers along for the ride as the duos test their emotional, mental and physical endurance while learning more about their heritage and growing closer to their families.

"'Relative Race' is so popular because it's not only fun to watch, it taps the innate human desire to bond with family when viewers see the contestants meet close biological relatives for the first time," said Michael Dunn, managing director of BYUtv. "Typically a new season airs each spring, but due to the show's ardent fans of all ages across the country, we have made the decision to present a second cycle of the series this year. The fourth season, airing this fall, and sponsored by our new partner, Adoption.com, features a number of inspiring stories and unknown relative encounters that have to be seen to be believed. This season brings back the excitement and emotion families always feel as they watch the show together."
