The Amazing Race 7 is the seventh season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured 11 teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race around the world. This season visited five continents and 10 countries, traveling approximately 40,000 miles (64,000 km) over 12 legs. Starting in Long Beach, racers traveled through Peru, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Botswana, India, Turkey, England, and Jamaica before returning to the United States, traveling through Puerto Rico, and finishing in Miami-Fort Lauderdale. A new twist introduced this season includes an expansion of the non-elimination leg penalty where penalized teams were stripped of most of their possessions. The season premiered on CBS on March 1, 2005, and concluded on May 10, 2005.
Married couple Uchenna and Joyce Agu were the winners of this season, while engaged couple Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich (of Survivor) finished in second place, and dating couple Ron Young Jr. and Kelly McCorkle finished in third place.
