Park in Beijing. Additional notes Frank & Margarita and Rob & Brennan caught a much earlier flight to Beijing than Joe & Bill and Kevin & Drew.

Joe & Bill would remain almost a full day behind the remaining two teams for the rest of the race. Leg 12 (China → United States) Episode 12: "Race to the Finish — Part 1" (December 5, 2001) Locations Beijing (Tiantan Park) Beijing (Great Wall of China – Jūyōng Pass) Beijing → Anchorage, Alaska Scotty Lake (North Country Bed and Breakfast) Scotty Lake (Blanket Toss Area) Glacier View (Matanuska Glacier) Trapper Creek (Highway Mile Marker 131) Trapper Creek (Wilderness Cabin) Episode summary At the beginning of this leg, teams had to use a map to find three kite flyers in Tiantan Park with their next clue attached to the kites. Teams were then instructed to travel to the Great Wall of China by public bus in order to find their next clue. This leg's Detour at the Great Wall of China was a choice between Flat or Steep. In Flat, teams had to walk along a long, flat path to a faraway pavilion with their next clue. In Steep, teams had to hike up a much shorter, but extremely steep, path to a closer pavilion with their next clue. All teams chose the steep hike. Teams were instructed to fly to Anchorage, Alaska. Once in Anchorage, teams chose a marked 4x4 and were driven to North Country Bed and Breakfast in Scotty Lake, where they spent the night. The next morning, one team member had to experience an Alaskan blanket toss known as Nalukataq in order to spot a nearby route marker on the ice. In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to climb an ice wall in order to retrieve their next clue from the top of the glacier. After completing the Roadblock, teams had to reach highway Mile Marker 131 near Denali State Park, where they left their vehicles and rode snowmobiles to the pit stop at a wilderness cabin. Additional notes This was a non-elimination leg.
