About Relative Race
Relative Race is a reality and family TV series that premiered on BYU Television on February 28, 2016. It has 17 seasons and 171 episodes so far and is still airing new episodes. The latest episode, Season 17 Episode 1, aired on September 13, 2026.
Contestants race across the country in search of relatives they have never met, in hopes they will reach the finish line first and win the grand prize. Four teams (red, blue, green, black) are given clues and challenges along the way that lead them to people who share the same DNA. The last-place finisher at each stage of the competition receives a strike. Three strikes and that team is out.
