  For the final Roadblock of the Race, which paid homage to the 150th anniversary of the NYC Fire Department, one team member had to don a firefighter's uniform and take part in a training exercise. First, they had to carry a fire hose to a fire engine. Then, they had to climb a ladder to an open window of a burning building and search inside for a dummy representing a victim. Once they exited the building with the dummy, they had to place it onto a waiting stretcher. The second part of the Roadblock was a memory task in which they had to arrange firefighters' hats labeled with the capital cities of the foreign countries visited during the Race in chronological order (see order below) to receive their next clue from a firefighter.
  Additional tasks
  After the Roadblock, teams were instructed to travel to the location of the final race of the Triple Crown: Belmont Park. There, teams would take a helicopter ride to Southampton in The Hamptons. After landing at Southampton Heliport, they had to search for their next clue.
  At Shinnecock East County Park, teams had to drive a Sea-Doo to a lobster boat, where they had to pull seven lobster traps from the water, empty them, and replace them with new traps. Once this was completed, teams received a box containing the flags of all of the foreign countries visited along with a decoy Egyptian flag and had to arrange the correct flags in chronological order to receive their next clue from a fisherman and head back to shore.
  When the lobster boats neared the shore, teams had to swim to shore and drive a dune buggy down the beach for the third memory challenge. They had to assemble six Adirondack chairs painted with things encountered during the Race and arrange them in chronological order:
  If the chairs were properly assembled and in the correct order, teams would receive them their final clue, which teams told to travel on foot to the estate at 1620 Meadow Lane to cross the Finish Line.
  Additional note
  Teams returned to Hong Kong to begin the finale at the Conrad Hong Kong.
