List of episodes

The Amazing Race 7 is the seventh 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 to win US$1,000,000. This season visited five continents and ten countries and traveled over 40,000 miles (64,000 km) during twelve legs. Starting in Long Beach, racers traveled through Peru, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Botswana, India, Turkey, England, and Jamaica before returning to the United States, traveling through Puerto Rico, and finishing in Miami-Fort Lauderdale. A new twist introduced in this season includes an expansion of the non-elimination leg penalty where teams also were stripped of possessions excluding their passports and the clothes that they were wearing. The season premiered on CBS March 1, 2005, and concluded on May 10, 2005.

Married couple Uchenna and Joyce Agu were the winners of this season, while engaged couple Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich (of Survivor fame) finished in second place, and dating couple Ron Young Jr. and Kelly McCorkle finished in third place.
