FAST FORWARD: Teams who win the fast forward can go directly to the next pit stip without completing the remaining tasks. The first team to find it can use it and it may only be claimed once durin the entire race.

DETOUR: This is simply a choice between two tasks in order to get to receive the next clue. There are pros and cons to each detour task, e.g. dangerous but quicker, slower but safer.

ROAD BLOCK: A task that only one member of the team must do.

ROUTE MARKER: Yellow and white flag that marks the locations where instructions can be found. Teams failing to pick up a clue at each route marker during a leg, will have to return and get it in order to qualify at the pit stop.

YIELD: New to the fifth installment. Teams can use the YIELD to slow down another team. Yielded teams must turn over an hourglass and wait for all the sand to run out before they can continue with the race.
