Canada, get on your mark and get ready to race a third time! Following the riveting season finale of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA, which saw best friends Mickey Henry and Pete Schmalz win $250,000 in cold, hard, cash, the opportunity to fly free for a year anywhere Air Canada flies worldwide in Business Class, two Chevrolet Silverado High Country Edition Pickup Trucks, plus “Free Gas for Life” from Petro-Canada, host Jon Montgomery announced on behalf of CTV that casting for Season 3 of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA is now open. The announcement of the third season and casting call was made during the live after-show special AFTER THE RACE, featuring all 11 teams, and produced in front of a live studio audience from CTV’s headquarters in Toronto.

Fresh off an incredible second season as the second most-watched program of the year in Canada with an average audience of 2.7 million viewers, Race fans from across the country can now set their sights on their own once-in-a-life time chance to be part of Canada’s #1 summer series, and the biggest race this country has ever seen. Fans can go online now at www.CTV.ca/TheAmazingRaceCanada and submit an audition video and application for their chance to join host Jon Montgomery on the road. Potential teams are encouraged to showcase their personalities and explain why they want to be part of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA. The deadline for submission is Monday, November, 24 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

“Do you think you have what it takes to win?” asked Jon Montgomery to Canadians during tonight’s announcement on AFTER THE RACE. “If you do, casting starts right now. Just one word of advice,” he added, “THE AMAZING RACE CANADA is the adventure of a lifetime, and if you want to win, you better pick the right partner.”

“We’re still kinda in shock,” said Mickey. “I don’t think either of us was fully prepared to deal with actually winning the Race, you know?” “We were so close so many times, it was just our time that leg,” added Pete. “We basically did everything right from the get go and didn’t make any mistakes in Ottawa.”

“After two seasons we’ve had the most wild and unpredictable results you can imagine,” said John Brunton, CEO and Chairman Insight Productions. “We know that Canadians are eager to be a part of this sensational experience and we encourage anyone who thinks they have a shot to apply to be a part of the #1 show in Canada. The whole country’s invited, come one, come all.”

THE AMAZING RACE CANADA is looking for dynamic and enthusiastic teams of two who possess a strong personal connection. They must be articulate, competitive, interesting, outgoing, and adventurous. Teams will get the opportunity to participate in Detours, Roadblocks, U-Turns, and other challenges as they endure approximately 28 days of the Race in various conditions, environments, and climates.
