The Amazing Race 29 is the twenty-ninth season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Unlike previous seasons, which almost exclusively featured teams with pre-existing relationships, this season, hosted by Phil Keoghan, featured 22 contestants who were all complete strangers who met for the first time and formed eleven teams of two at the starting line. These teams competed in a race around the world in order to win US$1,000,000. This season visited five continents and nine countries and traveled over 36,000 miles (58,000 km). Starting in Los Angeles, racers traveled through Panama, Brazil, Tanzania, Norway, Italy, Greece, Vietnam, and South Korea before returning to the United States and finishing in Chicago. A new twist introduced in this season allowed teams to use the U-Turn more than once. The season premiered on CBS on Thursday, March 30, 2017, and the season finale aired on June 1, 2017.
Brooke Camhi and Scott Flanary were the winners of this season, while Tara Carr and Joey Covino finished in second place, and London Kaye and Logan Bauer finished in third place.
