Following a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the Amazing Race Canada is back on the road in 2022. The show is based on the international Amazing Race franchise and is broadcast on CTV.

Hosted by Olympic gold medalist Jon Montgomery, the reality television competition features teams in a race split into legs, and tasked with challenges, to deduce clues, navigate themselves in foreign areas, interact with locals, perform physical and mental challenges and travel by air, boat, car, taxi, and other modes of transport.

Teams are progressively eliminated at the end of most legs for being the last to arrive at designated pit stops. The first team to arrive at the finish line wins a grand prize of $250,000, and additional prizes from the show’s sponsors.
