300...?
Jobby:
Season 1 - 5, 9 & 11 = 13 x 7 = 91
Season 6, 7, 8 & 10 = 12 x 4 = 48 (Season 6 TBC, Season 7 "Meet Phil", this leg is not over, Season 8 Finale Mega Leg with clue indication KOR, Season 10 Mega Leg with clue indication KOR)
Season 12 & 13 = 11 x 2 = 22
Season 14 - 24 = 12 x 11 = 132
Season 25 = 7 legs so far
Total: 300th Leg on Leg 7, TAR 25.

You missed:
-Season 8 "Meet Phil", this leg is not over (Final 4; remember that footrace between the Weavers and the Bransens?)
-Season 9 "Meet Phil", this leg is not over (Final 9)
-Season 14 "Meet Phil", this leg is not over (Final 4) -- 11 legs; not 12
Alenaveda:
Season 14 had 12 legs:

RaceUntilWeDie:
Sorry... but what am I looking at here? Isn't it 11 legs, 12 episodes?
Neobie:
Bringing this over from the Episode Thread...
We start with the total number of "shows" we've had: 304. (GB mentions this at the top post.) This counts all race segments that fit into a 60- or 90-min timeslot.
13x11 (Seasons 1-11) + 11x2 (Seasons 12-13) + 12x11 (Seasons 14-24) + 7 (Season 25) = 304
From here, we combine four pairs of "shows" to count as a single leg in one of two ways, to arrive at the magical number 300:
1. As Jobby suggests, we can consider Eger (Season 6), Montreal (Season 8 ), and Helsinki (Season 10) as non-Pit Stops because teams never meet Phil. On top of that, we add Lucknow (Season 7), as Phil never tells teams their placement. In all other "fake Pit Stops" Phil has been telling teams their placement before telling them to continue on. Choosing this interpretation would mean Phil was "lying" when he told teams that "this leg is not over" in other seasons.
2. A leg is not over only when Phil tells you it's not over. This means Lucknow (Season 7), Moran (Season 8 ), Moscow (Season 9), and Beijing (Season 14) were the non-Pit Stops. Choosing this interpretation would mean a leg can start without you ever hitting the mat, like in Eger, Montreal, or Helsinki.
