THE AMAZING RACE is a multiple Emmy Award-winning reality series hosted by Emmy Award-nominated host Phil Keoghan, where teams of two embark on a race around the world. At every destination, each team must compete in a series of challenges, some mental and some physical, and only when the tasks are completed will they learn of their next location. Teams that are the farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning THE AMAZING RACE and the $1 million prize. Key Questions Answered Where does this high-altitude premiere challenge take place? The task is set high up in the rafters of BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, Canada. What unique equipment must contestants wear to catch the salmon? Racers must strap on oversized bear-claw gloves before taking off from the platform.

How high above the stadium floor are the racers jumping? Racers step off a platform suspended nearly 200 feet in the air to complete their catch.
