Contestants aim to arrive first at "pit stops" at the end of each leg of the race to win prizes -- and avoid coming in last, which could lead to elimination. The race features travel by plane, truck, bike, train, boat, bus and more across several countries.
As of the 18th season, the show has visited 76 countries across the globe.

Applicants must be 21 and a U.S. citizen to compete on the show. Filming dates for the upcoming season are expected to be mid-November through mid-December.
According to the show's casting website, those interested are encouraged to apply with a person that would make you "the best and most interesting roommate." Because "The Amazing Race" is a show about relationships, it is beneficial to know the person with whom you are racing around the world.
