The Amazing Race Reveals Season 14's Global Race Route

News

Once again, The Amazing Race has revealed the global route the country-hopping competitors will take over the course of their 22-day race.

After starting out at the Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos, which is about 25 miles south of Los Angeles, Calif., the 11 teams will jet over to Stechelberg, Switzerland — home of the world’s second-tallest bungee.
What’s the home of the tallest bungee? That would be the Macau Tower in Macau. Why didn’t the racers go there instead? Well, they already did for a Roadblock challenge in The Amazing Race: All-Stars.

Now you’d expect that while in Switzerland, the teams will have to do something with cheese, right? Well, they certainly don’t disappoint. Apparently the pairs will have to take part in a cheesy challenge, taking huge wheels of cheese up and down a hill.

The entire route is as follows:

Start: Los Alamitos, California, United States

1. Stechelberg, Switzerland

2. Salzburg, Austria

3. Bran, Romania

4. Krasnoyarsk, Russia

5. Novosibirsk, Russia

6. Jaipur, India

7. Phuket, Thailand

8. Bangkok, Thailand

9. Gurlin, China

10. Beijing, China

11. Beijing, China

Finish: Maui, Hawaii, United States

I'm not embarrassed to say that my favorite television show of all-time is The O.C. I live by the motto "you can't fight fate!" More importantly, I watch WAY too much television, but I do so for the benefit of everyone reading this now. So to my mom and my wife, I say thanks for reading!
