The milestone 30th season 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.

A whole new group of strangers moves into the Big Brother house and begins the battle for $500,000. This Summer, the houseguests will be enticed by more temptations and face more consequences than anyone in the history of the game.

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.

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

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

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