The Amazing Race 30 is the thirtieth season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured eleven 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 ten countries and traveled over 29,000 miles (47,000 km). Starting in New York City, racers traveled through Iceland, Belgium, Morocco, France, the Czech Republic, Zimbabwe, Bahrain, Thailand, and Hong Kong before returning to the United States and finishing in the San Francisco Bay Area. New twists introduced in this season include the Head-to-Head, where two teams competed against each other in a task, and a leg where teams swapped partners. The season premiered on CBS on January 3, 2018, and the two-hour season finale aired on February 21, 2018.
Dating reality stars Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf (from Big Brother 19) were the winners of this season,[1] while debaters Henry Zhang and Evan Lynyak finished in second place, and professional skiers Kristi Leskinen and Jen Hudak finished in third place.
