Teams must fly to Chicago, Illinois, United States. Upon arrival, teams must travel by taxi to the Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet to find their next clue.

Teams will have to join a racing team. While one teammate takes the wheel, the other must join the pit crew and change a tire in under 40 seconds. Once the teammate has successfully changed a tire, one at a time, the driving teammate must clock one lap around the track in under 48 seconds to receive their next clue.

Teams must travel by taxi to Monroe Street Station and find a city worker to receive their next clue.

Teams must solve three riddles, which will lead them to three locations: the Chicago Water Tower, Buckingham Fountain, and the Wabash Avenue Bridge. At each of the locations, they will receive a postcard with part of their next destination, City Hall Rooftop.

Teams must travel to City Hall Rooftop, where they will need to find the garden. In the garden, they will need to exchange the three postcards to a beekeeper for their next clue.

Teams must travel by taxi to Wrigleyville Dogs to find their next clue.

Teams must make and deliver ten Chicago-style hotdogs them to Wrigley Rooftops, overlooking Wrigley Field. After delivering their hotdogs, Ernie & Cindy (winners of The Amazing Race 19), will hand them tickets to enter Wrigley Field, which contains their next clue.

Teams must enter Wrigley Field to find their next clue.

Teams while one teammate is communicating via radio from the press box, the other teammate will have to enter Wrigley Field's hand-turned scoreboard, where the names of cities they previously visited are located. Their partner on the radio will have to communicate where each city is on the scoreboard, while the one in the scoreboard places their placement of the leg when they visited that particular city. Once they have their placements correct, they will need to solve an equation, which will direct them to one of the aisles where they will find their next clue.

Teams must travel by taxi to Milton Lee Olive Park to cross the Finish Line.
