In THE AMAZING RACE AUSTRALIA, 11 teams depart on the adventure of a lifetime as they race around the world. Starting at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground, they’ll cover 50,000km, four continents, 12 countries and 23 cities before returning to Australia to crown the winners.

The adventure will see them crisscross the globe, unsure of what challenges lie ahead. What they do know is that the race will be fast-paced and unrelenting. It will test their ability to work together as a team, challenge their personal relationships and provide life-changing experiences. Along the way they’ll confront fears, develop confidence, experience new cultures and make lifelong friends.

At each destination teams will compete in a series of challenges – some mental and some physical. And some teams will find the biggest challenge is just getting there. Ahead they’ll face dizzying heights, heavy loads, confronting foods, language barriers, money concerns and races to the pit stop as well as Roadblocks, Detours, Fast Forwards, Yields and U-turns.

Who will have the right combination of strategy, strength, skill and teamwork to win the $250,000 prize?
