Story

Usually, the show has 11 teams of 2 persons who have to race all over the world. There are 12 legs, and each episode is dedicated to one leg. A Pit Stop allows each team to have some rest to recover. The first team arriving at a Pit Stop is awarded an attractive prize, for instance, a trip, and the last one is usually eliminated from the participation in the race.

It is possible to have a leg of a double length. Upon arrival to a Pit Stop, a team is told to continue its race. Only three teams remain on the last leg. Only one team, the one arriving first, receives one million American dollars. It takes up to a month for each race to be completed.

Teams received clues in envelopes. Route Markers are boxes that have yellow, red, and white envelopes. These are needed to determine the next destination. It is possible to use various types of transport, including boats, buses, planes, taxis, trains, as well as rented vehicles. It is also allowed to travel by foot.
