  The last Detour was a choice of Cut the Cod or Grab the Crab. In Cut the Cod, teams had to cut through several 50-pound (23 kg) Ling Cod and search for a miniature clue hidden in one of the fish. In Grab the Crab, teams had to jump into the hold of a boat swarming with over 500 live crabs. Then, they had to search through the nipping crustaceans for a crab marked with Race colors to receive their next clue.
  In the final Roadblock, one team member had to face a field of things they had encountered along the racecourse. They had to match 10 of 15 recognizable items to the respective legs of the Race, but the combination of items had to meet the following requirements:
  Three items could be animals or animal by-products.
  One had to be a U-Turn.
  Two had to be items either at or brought to the Pit Stop.
  Two had to be items of transportation with wheels, one of which was used at a Detour.
  One had to be an item of transportation resembling the shape of a stick.
  Only one combination of items satisfied the conditions and would open the clue box allowing teams to obtain their next clue.
  Additional tasks
  At 6th Avenue Outfitters, teams would pick up necessary gear for the journey ahead, along with their next clue.
  At Twentymile River, teams took a high-speed boat to Twenty-Mile Glacier. Once there, both team members had to climb a wall of ice to reach their next clue. They then returned via helicopter to Merrill Field to continue the Race.
  After completing the Roadblock, teams were told to travel to "Cook's Eye View of the Sleeping Lady". Teams had to determine this referred to the Captain Cook Statue at Resolution Park.
