  In the second Fast Forward of the Race, teams had to join in a traditional Kazakh feast at Alasha Restaurant, where they would discover that both team members had each eat a serving of sheep fat known as kurduk. The first team to finish their servings would win the Fast Forward award.
  In this leg's Roadblock at Alel Agro Chicken Factory, one team member had to search among 30,000 chickens for one of seven golden eggs, which they could be traded for their next clue.
  The leg's Detour was a choice between Play Like Mad or Act Like Fools. In Play Like Mad, teams traveled to the Kazakh Museum of Folk Musical Instruments (referred to as State Museum of National Musical Instruments). There, teams would learn to play a traditional folk tune on the dombra and the shang-kobuz. They then had to go to a park and perform for locals to earn tips totalling 200₸ (approximately US$1.50) to receive their next clue. In Act Like Fools, teams made their way to the Almaty State Puppet Theater, where they had to put on a two-person cow costume and travel across town to a milk stand to drink a glass of milk. At the bottom of the glass was the name of their next destination, the Zelyoniy Bazaar, where they had to find the meat section to receive their next clue.
  Additional tasks
  After completing the Roadblock, teams had to search for a giant crane truck and travel to Kok Tobe Arch. There, at the foothills of the Tien Shan Mountains, teams would follow the marked path to a Mongol Warrior, who used a trained golden eagle to deliver their next clue.
  Depending on whichever Detour they chose, teams were required to take with them either the dombra or the cow costume to the Pit Stop.
