Cassie Day and Jahmeek Murray are a Engaged team on The Amazing Race Canada 8.

Cassie & Jahmeek were able to get a Top 3 in the first leg, however they struggled in the Goat Detour in the next leg and fell to the bottom. Then in Leg 3, after struggling again in the Bike Assembling Detour, they had to switch to the Fly Memory Detour, which ultimately led to their elimination. They were invited to come back after several teams had to drop out of the race due to COVID-19, only to struggle at the back of the pack and got another Last Place in Leg 4. However, Leg 4 was a non-elimination leg and they were able to escape from bottom and be in the middle for the next two legs. They eventually struggled in the Deaf Sign Language Challenge in Leg 7, where they fell back to dead last again and were eliminated in 8th Place.

Don't be fooled by their big smiles, Cassie and Jahmeek come from very competitive, team-oriented sports backgrounds. Cassie played competitive hockey, and Jahmeek was signed by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Canadian Football League. It comes as no surprise that they have since channeled this passion for sports into making their mark in the fitness industry.

Cassie is the founder of a wellness initiative that helps everybody make fitness a consistent part of their lives by providing inclusive and intuitive programs. Since the passing of her little brother – her biggest travel partner and supporter – she has dedicated her life to positively impacting people to encourage them to live healthier and more fulfilling lives; sharing love and positivity everywhere she goes.

Jahmeek grew up in Kingston, Jamaica and has overcome many roadblocks throughout his life. He recently survived a near-death experience when he was pulled into the ocean by a riptide, and it was thinking of Cassie that made him fight to survive. From athlete to personal trainer, and now a firefighter, Jahmeek is a playmaker with a tenacious demeanor and passion for helping others.

Cassie and Jahmeek are ready for the ultimate physical and mental test. They’re racing for Cassie's brother, their friends and family, their fitness community, and most importantly, themselves.
