LIVE sightings will go here! 
 
If you HAVE a live sighting to share, help us as much as you can with
WHO (be descriptive, what they look like, is it a male/female team for example, what color they are wearing is helpful)
WHAT are they doing
WHERE (as exactly as possible... street? airport gate? address? be specific!)
WHEN (what time zone?, exact time)
and any descriptions of the action! Pictures are treasured!
 
If you have a spoiler and prefer to share it privately, you can email or PM one of the moderators. Your confidentiality will be respected.
 
IMPORTANT! If you find anything posted by someone working in any capacity for the race or by production, do NOT post it here, you can cost someone their job...or worse. Let me or Alenaveda of caper  know, and we'll see if it can be shared. Thanks!
Same goes for info on FUTURE legs, if you have a spoiler message Alenaveda or caper or me FIRST please.
 
 
If you are concerned that any info gained from any sighting, FB post or tweet may be private or confidential or just "too much too soon", feel free to PM Alenaveda or caper or georgiapeach to ask before you post.

Thank you everyone!!

Thanks jjw26 for starting us off.

They are in downtown Reykjavík, Iceland!


Confirmed! It's the Israeli version!

2 little boys lifted the envelope from the box and took off with it when no one was looking.

A producer chased them down and retrieved it 😂

Reply. The box was down the street from the pastry (I think rjómabollur) task.

I saw them around several times but the envelope box was in front of the Magic Ice - Ice Bar & Gallery.

Another reply just posted.

This is too funny! I was just in Vik (about 2 hours from Reykjavik) and I swear I saw two light beige SUVs with TAR marks on the windshield going in the other direction.

Wow guys, happy

They were in Málaga on Sunday and redid the Picasso Roadblock from 34.

The mythical cubist painting 'The three musicians' in front of the statue of Pablo Picasso in the Plaza de la Merced, a girl in pink trying to decipher the canvas and a camera that did not take its eyes off the young woman and the bronze man from Malaga. The scene took place this Sunday in the central enclave of the capital, which was the setting and the main plot of the recording of a 'reality show' and a 'Pekin Express' type contest. In reality, the filming corresponded to the competitor of this last format, the international franchise 'The Amazing Race', which in its Israeli version stopped last weekend in Malaga to test its contestants, who had to mount a exhibition of the artist from Malaga in the square that serves as the portico of the house where the author of 'Guernica' was born.

A total of 12 couples, each one identified by color, participated in the filming of the Plaza de la Merced in which large frames were installed, in which the contestants of 'The Race to the Million' -also known as 'The Amazing Race Israel'- had to be correctly introducing reproductions of the works of Pablo Picasso, who acted as spectator and guest 'artist' of the show from his stone bench in this space.

Yehuda posted an image with the caption "No longer closed on where I am #HaMerotzLaMillion2024"

Yehuda posted another photo though it looks like it's from Iceland.

I'm not usually in these parts but it looks like Yehuda was in Zambia a few days ago (possibly Victoria Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/CsZLRW1M251/

They're in Austria. Specifically Hohe Tauern National Park.

Somebody from Reddit said that while they were on a tour in Sofia, Bulgaria, a couple with a camera crew stopped them. Could it be pre-race runs?

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheAmazingRace/comments/13um6lk/do_we_know_if_season_36_is_filming_yet_if_not/?ref=share&ref_source=link

The Amazing Race Israel is currently filming so that might be them.

This would be amazing if true. Sometimes teams test out tasks, but not before filming and scouting doesn’t bring camera crews.

I was on a tour in Sofia, Bulgaria last week and got approached by a couple and a camera person that were definitely doing something amazing race-like but not sure if it was actually Amazing Race...

Someone claiming they saw teams in Gangnam? Is this us?

[Xoruz]

Seoul is us.

I just stumbled into some country’s version of The Amazing Race filming, I think.

I’m like 92% positive it was for HaMerotz LaMillion. And I was in a lot of their shots. Israel, if you see some guy wearing a dark blue shirt who looks visibly exhausted and has terrible posture on TV, that’s me!

Scratch Singapore, this was also Ho Chi Minh City.

Teams currently racing tonight in Queenstown, New Zealand

[gamerfan09]

Local news sighting - guess this was the penultimate leg!

The Otago Daily Times understands permission was sought — but declined — to dump a car into Lake Wakatipu.

Instead, it is understood a car will be suspended from a giant crane over Lake Johnson, near Frankton.

The inflatable bags were set up on the CBD reserve early yesterday afternoon — when the ODT inquired what they were there for, an answer was not forthcoming, aside from it being part of a shoot.

Large lights had been erected around the Kerry Dr jump park, at Queenstown Hill, by late yesterday afternoon and it is understood a night shoot is also planned at AJ Hackett’s Kawarau Bungy Bridge.

It is believed competitors in teams have been racing all over the world and Queenstown is the final stop.
