Race Overview

10 families set out from New York in the first ever family edition in a race for $1,000,000. The Gaghans surged ahead while the Paolos got lost in their home territory. The families retraced the steps of George Washington crossing the Delaware River. But the Black family had trouble. At the Detour, the Weavers had a close call. While the Aiellos faltered, the Gaghans triumphed. Teams struggled with the building task and each other, and it was the Godlewski sisters who came in first. In the end, the Linz family outran the Black family who became the first team to be eliminated.
