One of Canada’s most popular reality competition shows turned up in Prince George last week.
Crews from The Amazing Race Canada were spotted near Mr. PG at the intersection of highways 16 and 97 on Friday, as well as at other locations around the city.
Based on the Emmy Award-winning American series The Amazing Race, the Canadian edition brings its own flavour to the franchise by highlighting both domestic landmarks and international destinations.
Airing on CTV and hosted by Olympic gold medalist Jon Montgomery, the series features teams of two racing against each other in a globe-trotting competition. Each season is divided into “legs,” with teams deciphering clues, navigating unfamiliar territories, engaging with locals, and overcoming a range of physical and mental tasks. Contestants rely on multiple forms of transportation, from planes and boats to taxis and bicycles, as they race to avoid elimination and stay in the game.
At the end of most legs, the last team to arrive at the designated Pit Stop is eliminated. The race culminates at the Finish Line, where the first team to arrive is crowned the winner, taking home a grand prize of $250,000.
It's unknown when the Prince George leg of the adventure will be aired.
