The Amazing Race Canada 5 is the fifth season of The Amazing Race Canada, a Canadian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Hosted by Jon Montgomery, it featured ten teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race across Canada and the world. The grand prize included a CA$250,000 cash payout, a trip for two around the world, and two 2018 Chevrolet Equinox SUVs.[1] This season visited six provinces and three additional countries and travelled over 50,000 kilometres (31,000 mi) during eleven legs. Starting in St. John's, racers travelled through Newfoundland and Labrador, British Columbia, Alberta, China, Thailand, Ontario, Quebec, Panama, and Saskatchewan before finishing in Quebec City. A new twist introduced in this season was the 150 Challenge, which was a task themed after the 150th anniversary of Canada. The season premiered on CTV on July 4, 2017, with the season finale airing on September 12, 2017.
Dating couple Sam Lambert and Paul Mitskopoulos were the winners of this season, while best friends Kenneth McAlpine and Ryan Lachapelle finished in second place, and personal trainers and best friends Korey Sam and Ivana Krunić finished in third place.
