Nine teams compete for the historic half-a-million dollar grand prize in the first-ever all-Canadian race around the country.

The eight remaining teams race to Vancouver, BC, where they become tangled in the urban jungle and tripped up on the ice.

Teams head to big sky country, Calgary, Alberta and a dirty detour kicks the soot out of the racers.

The racers embark on an epic trek across the mighty Canadian north, where things get icy both in the water and on land.

The teams head to Regina where they get buried by lentils, then drilled by the RCMP; the first double U-Turn sends the teams into a panic.
