Over the course of 36 seasons, contestants on The Amazing Race have traveled more than 1 million miles around the world, racing each other to see who can cross the finish line first. Now, as The Amazing Race season 37 begins, a new batch of world travelers are going to add to that tally.
As The Amazing Race approaches the quarter-century mark on CBS (it premiered in 2001), the show is promising a number of new twists this season to excite viewers. But one of the biggest is that this is going to be the largest field of contestants in Amazing Race history, as 14 teams are setting off on the globe-trotting adventure.
