Race to Shore

Race to Shore (also knows as One for All) is a recurring individual challenge that first appeared in, and has since reappeared in , and. Occurring at the very start of the game (sometimes even before tribes are revealed), the challenge typically involves a swimming and/or foot race to locate an object of importance, such as an Immunity Necklace, a Hidden Immunity Idol or the Medallion of Power.

Rules
Survivors must race individually to a certain marked area to find and retrieve an Immunity Necklace that will keep them safe at the first Tribal Council the person attends. In, the Immunity Necklace was replaced with the Medallion of Power.

History
In, newly-marooned castaways must jump off their boat, swim across the sea, and reach the drop-off beach where two individual Immunity Necklaces (one for each gender) are waiting. The first man and first woman to wear the necklaces would win immunity. Stephenie and Jonathan made a crucial mistake by jumping off the boat and trying to outswim it, but the boat went far ahead of them. In the end, Ian won the male immunity and Jolanda barely beat Jenn for the female immunity. The immunity only lasts until the division of the tribes.

The challenge re-appeared in  once the Favorites were brought out. The Survivors had to race across a lagoon and to the tribe boats to find the idols Yau-Man beat Fairplay in a tight race and won for Malakal. Kathy won for Airai when Yau-Man showed her where it was.

In, the 18 castaways raced through a series of marked hills to the top of a very steep slope. In addition, the first tribe to have all its members reach the top of the hill would win an extra bag of corn and beans. Marcus got the idol for Kota, and G.C. got the idol for Fang. Kota won the extra bag of food.

In, the twenty contestants (as yet undivided by tribe) were instructed to scour the Island for the Medallion of Power, with the person to find it winning the item for their tribe. Brenda Lowe found the Medallion, and took it with her to the La Flor tribe. However, the tribe chose to exchange the Medallion of Power (and thus give it to Espada) for fishing gear.
