Season 12

Ten teams begin the adventure of a lifetime as the Race kicks off atop Whistler Mountain in British Columbia. Racers are faced with one of the biggest twists in game history when every team is surprised with an Express Pass – a game-changing advantage that dramatically shifts the strategy of the Race right from the beginning.

Teams head to Kelowna, British Columbia, where they hit the slopes before tackling an unexpected challenge: collecting kangaroo droppings. With the dirty work behind them, racers put their memory skills to the test by learning the Syilx Okanagan people’s 13-moon cycles of the year, before closing out the leg by assembling a complex irrigation system. But with physical endurance and mental sharpness tested at every turn, which teams will rise to the challenge—and which will fall behind?

Teams travel to Falkland, B.C., and Jasper, Alta., where a Detour provides an opportunity to assist with rebuilding efforts following the devastating 2024 Jasper wildfires.

In Montréal and Laval, Quebec, teams face a game-changing Roadblock that introduces The Intersection - forcing two teams to work together.
