TORONTO, Aug. 10, 2015 /CNW/ - As Canada's #1 summer series THE AMAZING RACE CANADA nears its Season 3 midway point, CTV announced today that for a second
year in a row it will produce and broadcast a one-hour, mid-season,
after-show special, AFTER THE RACE. Taped in front of a studio audience from CTV's headquarters in
Toronto, AFTER THE RACE airs Wednesday, Aug. 19 at 10 p.m. ET/PT onCTV and CTV GO, immediatelyfollowing Episode 7 of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA in most markets (check local listings). Hosted by TSN's James Duthie (@tsnjamesduthie), AFTER THE RACE reunites all of this season's eliminated teams, and features a look
back at the most talked-about moments from the first seven episodes.



One of Canada's most celebrated sportscasters, as well as a
self-professed super-fan of the hit series, the Canadian Screen Award
and three-time Gemini Award-winning Duthie returns to talk to the
eliminated teams about their experience on The Amazing Race Canada, and gain personal insight into the highs and lows of their incredible
journey. The eliminated teams confirmed so far to appear in AFTER THE RACE are: Max and Elias, Susan and Sharnjit, Dana and Amanda, and Hamilton and Michaelia, with an additional team or teams to be announced following their
elimination.



In addition to the racers' chats with Duthie, and questions from
audience members, fans at home can also get in on the action by
submitting questions now to CTV through Facebook and Twitter with the
hashtag #AfterTheRace.



"From that first challenge I got to do with the racers at TSN, this
season has been really fun and exciting," said Duthie. "As a fan of the
show, you have a lot of questions as you watch. We want to know why
teams made certain moves or decisions. AFTER THE RACE is my chance to ask those questions and get those answers."
