What are the rules for Fast Forwards?
The Fast Forward is a task that, when accomplished, allows a team to skip all remaining tasks on that leg of the race (including Detours and Roadblocks), and go directly to the pit stop. The Fast Forward clue is given to the teams somewhere along the leg as part of their clue envelope (not necessarily at the beginning of the leg). The first trick to the Fast Forward is that only one team can claim it per leg, so if you decide to go for it and another team beats you to it, you’ve wasted all that time and you have to go back and finish the remaining tasks in the leg (the Fast Forward is often found in a remote location). The second trick is that each team may claim a Fast Forward only once during the entire race. So each team must decide “when it is most advantageous to go for it,” as Phil puts it. Another thing about Fast Forwards is that the tasks involved vary quite a bit in difficulty. It may involve simply finding a particular person in a well-known location, or it may involve hikin
