The new season of\u00a0The Amazing Race is set to debut this week, but Vancouver fans are already looking forward to next year\u2019s edition, as\u00a0the city is playing a pivotal role.<\/p>\n

Host Phil Keoghan posted a video on his Instagram announcing that Season 39 starting line of the 15-time Emmy-winning reality competition is located in downtown Vancouver.<\/p>\n

Keoghan greeted fans from the Jack Poole Plaza in Coal Harbour, giving viewers a sneak peek into what\u2019s to come from\u00a0The Amazing Race\u2018s trip to Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here shooting season 39, and I promise you that\u2019s going to be good too,\u201d said the New Zealand TV personality, who also created and hosted shows like No Opportunity Wasted and Tough as Nails.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe teams have literally just run away from the starting line, and I am now racing to do my introductions at the challenges and try to beat them to the pit stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is also\u00a0home to the annual\u00a0Vancouver Christmas Market<\/a>, a popular German-style holiday event featuring over 35 food and drink vendors, more than 75 artisans and makers, live entertainment,\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n

This will be only the third time that The Amazing Race has stopped in Canada, and the first time in Vancouver.<\/p>\n

In Season 8, released in 2005, teams flew to Montreal to try and find a clue in the Underground City by the Square-Victoria Metro Station.<\/p>\n

In 2004, competitors in Season 5 travelled to Calgary and had to choose between a luge ride on an Olympic course or a mountain bike challenge through a snowy slalom ski course to get their next clue.<\/p>\n
