Teams must travel by foot to SS Klondike and search the decks for their next clue.
Teams must fly to Regina, Saskatchewan. Upon arrival, they had to search the airport parking lot for a marked Chevrolet Trax, where they had to find a BlackBerry Z10, which they tapped using the parking attendants' Z10 to reveal turn-by-turn directions to their next location, Saskcan Pulse Trading Company. There, teams had to dig through a dry bulk trailer full of lentils to find two Sergeant Bullmoose plush toys (one tagged "RCMP" and the other tagged "Heritage Centre") to combine them for their location of their next clue, which is RCMP Heritage Centre.
Hal & Joanne and Holly & Brett were unable to complete the task and received a 2-hour penalty.
The Fast Forward was to include driving a police car simulation. It was seen in this leg as Vanessa holding a Fast Forward clue in her hand.[1][2]
"Who's ready for bed?"
The assigned team member must have to dress in a Royal Canadian Mounted Police cadet uniform and take a supply of clothes to a boot camp bedroom known as "the pit," where they had to place their clothes in the closet and cabinets and make their bed exactly like a prepared room. If a sergeant major believed the room met RCMP standards, Assistant Commissioner Roger Brown received them their next clue. Otherwise, any misplaced clothes would be dump onto the bed and the racer had to start again.
The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
Teams must make their way to Regina City Hall for 'I Love Regina' Sign. Once there, they had to perform a Ukrainian dance for their next clue.
Choice A: Brawn
Teams must drive themselves to Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field where they had to perform a series of Canadian football drills. Then, one team member had to catch a touchdown pass from coach Khari Jones, while the other team member had to complete a field goal in order to receive their next clue. If teams failed, they had to run a lap around the field and start over.
Hal & Joanne, Jet & Dave, Jody & Cory, and Tim Sr. & Tim Jr. chose this task.
Choice B: Beauty
Teams must drive themselves to Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field where they had to learn a choreographed cheerleading routine. They then had to correctly perform the routine for Saskatchewan Roughriders fans in order to receive their next clue from the team mascot, Gainer the Gopher.
Holly & Brett and Vanessa & Celina chose this task.Teams must make their way to the Luxury Box for their next clue.
At Luxury Box, teams would have the option to U-Turn a team, with two slots available. Tim Sr. & Tim Jr. used the first slot of the U-Turn on Hal & Joanne. Hal & Joanne used the second slot of the U-Turn on Holly & Brett.
Since Hal & Joanne completed the Brawn Detour, they would be forced to backtrack and complete the Beauty Detour before continuing.
Teams must make their way to Pine Island to check in.
For coming in first place, Jet & Dave won two round trip plane tickets to anywhere in Canada, provided by Air Canada.
