Route Markers[]

The order of departure from Predator Ridge Resort at the Biathlon Range are as follows:

Jesse & Marika (5:19 am)
Franca & Nella (5:20 am)
Brendan & Connor (5:34 am)
Beverley & Veronica (6:02 am)
Cassie & Jahmeek (6:32 am)
Cedric & Tychon (7:01 am)

Teams must fly to Toronto, Ontario. Upon arrival, teams must take the subway to Marshalls Yonge & Gerrard Street to find their next clue.

At Marshalls, teams had to memorize a photograph of an outfit and search the aisles for four matching items, which had to cost less than $200, to receive their next clue.

Teams must take a ViaRail train to London, Ontario. Upon arrival, teams must drive themselves to East Park Golf Gardens and find the 10th fairway to find a special clue.

At East Park Golf Gardens, teams found Jon Montgomery, who informed them that two out of three teams who were unable to continue due to COVID-19 would be re-entering the competition after solving a riddle and finding an On Ramp Pass in a well. The team who could not find a pass was eliminated.

Choice A: Aviate
Teams must make their way to Norton Wolf School of Aviation and Aerospace Technology and attach a propellor to a Cessna 150 to receive their next clue

Beverley & Veronica, Brendan & Connor, and Cedric & Tychon chose this task.

Choice B: Animate
Teams must make their way to the School of Digital and Performing Arts, where one team member had to don a motion capture suit and recreate the movements of an animated movie starring Jon Montgomery, without watching the movie, to receive their next clue, while their partner took on the role of director. Once teams began an attempt, the director could not instruct their partner. Jesse & Marika used their Express Pass to bypass this task.

Cassie & Jahmeek, Catherine & Craig, Court & Ali, Franca & Nella, and Jesse & Marika chose this task.

"Who wants a new best friend?"

The team member assigned to this Roadblock had to lead a dog through a dog agility course within 45 seconds to receive their next clue.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

Teams must make their way to Western University to find their next clue.

At the Western Interdisciplinary Research Building, teams had to don a Muse headband and mediate until they heard 30 birds chirps from the headband's app to receive their next clue

Teams must make their way to Western Alumni Stadium to check in.

For coming in first place, Franca & Nella won a trip for two to Honolulu, Hawaii and a $1500 gift card to Marshalls.

This leg is a No-Rest Leg. Teams would check in as normal, but would receive their clue to start the next leg from host Jon Montgomery. The team that comes in last place does not face a penalty.
