The Amazing Race

Thirteen new teams embark on the journey of a lifetime when host Phil Keoghan kicks off the 36th season of the CBS Original series THE AMAZING RACE. Teams begin in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico where they participate in a traditional Mexican rodeo and try to lasso their way to the finish line without coming in last.

Teams continue the megaleg in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where they must choose between detours that get them ready for a fiesta.

Teams climb the stairs to the top of El Peñon de Guatapé in Colombia to find their clue and begin the third leg of the race.

Teams paraglide their way to the start of this leg in Medellín, Colombia where they must choose between detours ‘getting in sync' or ‘decoding a rebus puzzle.'

To begin this leg of the Race in Santiago, Chile, teams self-drive in search of Marilyn Monroe's iconic Thunderbird car to receive their next clue.

Teams compete in double the roadblocks and double the detours on a megaleg in Argentina.

Teams must put on their best performance in Montevideo, Uruguay, when they choose between banging out a drum routine with street performers or singing a Spanish tune with professional troubadours at the detour.

For the first time in THE AMAZING RACE history, teams travel to Barbados where they visit the childhood home of superstar Rihanna.

For the first time, the Race travels to the Dominican Republic, where the final five teams must complete two road blocks.

In the penultimate leg, the final four teams compete for the chance to make the final three and one racer receives the surprise of a lifetime after their elimination. Then, in the final leg, the remaining three teams get schooled in American history, and after eight countries, 14 cities and 11,711 miles, one team will be crowned the winners of THE AMAZING RACE and win the $1 million prize.
