The show visited three continents and eight countries and traveled over 35,000 kilometres (22,000 mi) during twelve legs. Starting in Kyiv, teams travelled through the United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka, Singapore, the Philippines, South Africa, the Netherlands, and Poland before returning to Ukraine, travelling through Lviv Oblast and finishing in Kyiv. The first team to arrive at the Finish Line wins the grand prize of ₴500,000. [1] [2]
