Episode summary
  • Teams began at Commonwealth Stadium and had to search the seats for their first clue. Teams then had to rappel down from the stands to their bags and their next clue.
  • This season's first Detour was a choice between On The Fence or Behind The Wheel. In On The Fence, teams had to compete in a fencing bout, alternating one team member at a time, and score three touchés against an opponent using an épée before receiving their next clue from Olympic medalist Luan Jujie. In Behind The Wheel, one team member had to make a clay pot using a potter's wheel while blindfolded and under verbal guidance from their partner before receiving their next clue.
  • After the Detour, teams had to drive to Canyon Ski Resort outside of Red Deer and find their next clue. There, one team member had to ride an alpine coaster and count how many seconds the ride lasted within two seconds before receiving their next clue. The Assist was hidden in one clue, found by Rebecca & Rebecca, and allowed them to guess within five seconds.
  • In this season's first Roadblock, one team member had to perform a country–western line dance alongside the Country Pride Dance Club before receiving their next clue, which directed them to the Pit Stop: Fort Normandeau.

Leg 2 (Alberta → British Columbia)

  • Episode 2: "I'd Hug You But I Smell" (July 15, 2025)
