The milestone 30th season of THE AMAZING RACE kicks off from Washington Square Park in New York City with some of the most competitive and accomplished group of racers ever to take on the Race. Teams travel to their first destination, Iceland, where they must traverse a massive canyon high above the Geitargljufur River.

For the first time ever, teams square off head-to-head in a competition to earn their place on the mat and avoid elimination.

Things get slimy at a fishy challenge, and Racers scale buildings and run through the narrow streets of Tangiers, Morocco.

One team tries to stay on track after failing to read their clue, and teams face off against one another in the second head-to-head competition of the season. (St. Tropez and Provence, France)

The stakes are high when teams face the dreaded double U-turn and racers struggle to navigate the streets of Prague while delivering kegs to a local party.

For the first time, Racers swap teammates for an entire leg. Also, the game becomes ruthless with another double U-turn.
