NBC's 1st Look Presents -- Extra Mile Club Returns with Portland Adventures in the First Two Episodes of the New Season

On October 11 and 18 on NBC, Global Travel Collection Advisors Take on the Challenge, Crafting Epic Experiences for 'American Ninja Warrior' Hosts

NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Adventure meets luxury in the first two episodes of the new season of 1st Look Presents — Extra Mile Club on NBC. Premiering October 11 and 18, the episodes shine a spotlight on the rugged Pacific Northwest. Filmed in Portland, Oregon, the series once again showcases top advisors from Global Travel Collection (GTC) as they compete to design the ultimate celebrity getaway.

Global Travel Collection represents the most influential community of luxury travel advisors, including "Extra Mile Club" co-stars Leslie Tillem and Curtis Parris, whose decades of experience enable them to craft exceptional experiences, leveraging strong relationships with top hotels and destination partners to deliver a truly extraordinary vacation tailored to the needs and interests of each client.

For the Portland episodes, Tillem and Parris turn up the adrenaline by planning adventures for two fearless thrill-seekers who know a thing or two about challenges—American Ninja Warrior co-hosts Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbaja-Biamila. The dynamic duo will put the advisors' creativity to the test, and in the end, they'll decide which itinerary comes out on top.

The activities they have planned include stock car and drag racing at the Portland International Raceway, with lessons from Pro Drive Driving School and drag cars provided by Skyline Ford; a helicopter ride through the Willamette Valley wine country from Precision; and a private wine-tasting experience at Antica Terra.

Also on tap are coastal foraging and sightseeing in Ecola State Park and crabbing in Nehalem Bay with First Nature Tours, with crabbing boats and equipment provided by Kelly's Brighton Marina; a curated private beach dinner; whitewater rafting with First Nature Tours, with a boat and equipment provided by Columbia River Outdoors; VIP field seats and access at a Portland Timbers soccer game; and a food cart experience at Midtown Beer Garden.
