context_page_description: The Amazing Race 24 is the twenty-fourth installment of the American reality television show The Amazing Race that featured eleven teams of two – each returning from a previous edition for the first time since Season 18 – in a race around the world for a $1 million prize.
  The season premiered on February 23, 2014 on CBS, and the season finale was broadcast on May 18, 2014.
  Father and son David "Dave" and Connor O'Leary from Season 22 were the winners of the Race. They are the first parent-child team to win the American edition of the competition, and at age 58 at the time of filming, Dave is also the oldest person to win the American edition of The Amazing Race.
context_section_description: Filming for the season began on November 16, 2013 at Cougar Stadium at the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California. Filming was initially set to begin at the Rose Bowl, the UCLA Bruins football home stadium and a location previously visited during the Season 17 finale, but was changed to Cougar Stadium due to "issues of availability to use the Rose Bowl." The season's course traveled across three continents and through nine countries including China, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Italy, and a first time visit to Wales.
  Illusionist David Copperfield appeared in the first Roadblock during the finale in Las Vegas.
  At 31 legs each, both Jet & Cord and Flight Time & Big Easy held the title of the most number of legs competed on the Race after the conclusion of this season. This record was broken by Rachel Reilly (another competitor from this season) on The Amazing Race 31 before being broken by Leo & Jamal (also a team from this season) on the same season.
