Immediately following the news that Muskoka, ON’s Mickey and Pete had taken the top prize for the second season of The Amazing Race Canada last night, host Jon Montgomery announced a third season of the show is coming to CTV.

Playing at a special Sunday night timeslot, the season finale aired at 8 p.m. last night and was immediately followed by a one-hour live aftershow with race contestants hosted by TSN’s James Duthie.

The second season of the show has regularly brought in over two million viewers a week, pulling in the top spot on Numeris’ weekly list for the majority of its 12 episodes. It was also the first season of the show to leave Canada, with contestants racing to China and France.

Premium level sponsors on the second season of the show included Air Canada, Chevrolet Canada, DQ Canada and Scotiabank.
