A romance blossoms between two racers, and teams are caught in one of the largest-ever footraces to the mat for first place.

The Race reaches new heights as teams climb 15,000 feet in the French Alps, and one team may be in jeopardy of elimination after dropping their clue down a mountain.

For the first time, teams travel to Yerevan, Armenia, where an express pass is on the line for the winner of the leg.

Teams travel to the country of Georgia where they learn how to make a traditional candy and go deep into the trenches at an old Georgian winery.

Teams travel to Dubai where they race camels and swim with sharks.

Racers embark on a gut wrenching, 40-foot plunge and teams make a difficult decision when faced with a double U-turn.

As the final three teams race from Shenzhen, China to Santa Barbara, California for the final leg of the Race, they face a gut-wrenching leap of faith: jump off a building more than 150 feet high and perform a harrowing task of synchronized mountaineering.
