Beginning today, aspiring competitors can apply for their chance to run the race of a lifetime at CTV.ca/TheAmazingRaceCanada. Along with today’s casting announcement, Bell Media confirms that customized and wholly integrated brand partnership opportunities are currently available for Season 8 of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA.
“It takes a very special duo to run this race and bring home the grand prize,” said Mark Lysakowski, Executive Producer and Showrunner, THE AMAZING RACE CANADA. “We are thrilled to be looking for a brand new group of race teams that will bring their unique story and competitive spirit to the start line. We’re looking for Canadians who think they have what it takes to be a part of the nation’s most-watched Canadian series. It’s a life-changing adventure that starts with a simple application video.”
