The Amazing Race 10 is the tenth season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured twelve teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race around the world in order to win US$1,000,000. This season visited four continents and thirteen countries and traveled over 40,000 miles (64,000 km). Starting in Seattle, racers traveled through China, Mongolia, Vietnam, India, Kuwait, Mauritius, Madagascar, Finland, Ukraine, Morocco, Spain, and France before returning to the United States and finishing in the Hudson Valley. New twists introduced in this season include a mid-leg elimination; the Intersection, where two teams had to join up for a task; and a new non-elimination penalty, where the team who finished last in the previous leg had to finish first in the subsequent leg or else incur a 30-minute penalty. The season premiered on CBS on September 17, 2006, and concluded on December 10, 2006.
Professional models Tyler Denk and James Branaman were the winners of this season, while dating couple Rob Diaz and Kimberly Chabolla finished in second place, and single mothers Lyn Turk and Karlyn Harris finished in third place.
