  Manila, Metro Manila , Philippines  (Baluarte de San Diego) (Starting Line)
   Taguig (SM Aura Premier – SM Aura Office Tower)
  Taguig (Imperial Ice Bar)
  Makati (Ayala Tower One – Philippine Stock Exchange)
  Makati (University of Makati Stadium) 
   Makati (Little Tokyo Restaurant) or Quezon City (Center for Culinary Arts, Manila)

  Teams received their Roadblock clue as their race's first clue, where one team member had to do a face-first rappel from the 29th floor of the office tower of the SM Aura shopping mall to the mall's penthouse where their partner was waiting to receive the next clue.
  At the University of Makati Stadium, teams dueled in a 100-meter track and field sprint. The team winning each duel received their next clue while the losing team had to wait for the next team to arrive and run again. The last losing team was required to run one lap around the entire oval, with coaches Rio dela Cruz and Ani de Leon-Brown, to receive their next clue.
  The first Detour of the Race required teams to choose between Serve or Souffle. In Serve, teams had to travel to the Little Tokyo restaurant in Makati and take food orders of various Japanese dishes from customers. If they could memorize and correctly recite them to a chef, they would then have to serve the right dish to each customer and were given their next clue. In Souffle, teams had to travel to the Center for Culinary Arts and bake a whole batch of CCA's Signature Filipino soufflés. If the head chef was satisfied with their work, teams were given their next clue.
  Additional tasks
  At the Imperial Ice Bar, teams had to unscramble ice blocks containing letters to spell out "Stock Exchange". They were left to figure out that their next destination was the Philippine Stock Exchange in Makati.
  At the Stock Exchange, teams had to decipher a cryptic message and figure out that the numbers on their paper corresponded, in a certain way, to the numbers and initials on the stock market trading board. After figuring out the pattern, and decoding the message "Find Green Coat At Fountain", teams were given their next clue at a nearby fountain by a lady wearing a green coat.
  At Newport Performing Arts Theater at Resorts World Manila, teams had to don costumes and perform a drag routine from the musical, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Once their performance was to the judges satisfaction, they received their next clue.
