The Race starts in public, surrounded by fans.

If you win the first leg of the race you'll win the Save, which allows you to avoid being eliminated if you come in last during any one leg before Leg 9.

Begin the 25th Amazing Race where the first Race ended. [It may help you to some of the people around here, hint, hint.]

Who digs?

Use a liquid compass to navigate the beach. Start from one of four landmarks and use a shovel with 1 yard marked on it to follow a treasure map to the correct spot in the sand and dig up your next clue.
  Tim digs at the bell, rather than starting there and following the directions away from it.
  Alli calls the bell an anchor as well as being a bell, and starts from the wrong landmark.
  Scott marks off paces rather than yards, as instructed.
  Lisa thinks the sun sets in the east, and uses this idea to help her figure out the compass.
  Jim has a compass built into his watch, and uses that to figure out how the obscure liquid compass functions.
    are all there long after everyone else has gone. They decide to quit and take a penalty simultaneously. Michael & Scott agree in spite of what happened last time a team of two firefighters decided to quit a dig-up-the-beach task with two of their competitors.
     
   
Make your way to your first Pit Stop.
  block Lisa & Michelle from grabbing the cab that the boys have already hired.
