The race's starting line was at Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California.
After the anemic ratings for The Amazing Race 4, CBS chairman and CEO Les Moonves doubted whether the series would be renewed for another season.[1] After much deliberation, CBS officially ordered a fifth installment of the Race in September 2003. Some observers cited the series' recent Emmy win as the factor behind its renewal.[2] While CBS flirted with the idea of a fall premiere, it ultimately gave Season 5 a summer broadcast to create momentum for The Amazing Race 6 on the fall schedule.[3]
This season introduced two major twists to the Race: the Yield and a non-elimination penalty.[4] The Yield allowed one team to force another team to stop racing for a predetermined amount of time. The Yield was available on each leg, though it was not presented on each episode. The non-elimination penalty meant teams finishing last on non-elimination legs were stripped of any money they had accumulated and received no money at the start of the next leg. This was also the first season to see the number of Fast Forwards reduced; only two were available in the entire Race.[5]
The Amazing Race 5 lasted 31–32 days and traveled 72,000 miles, which was the longest race route yet, covering six continents and twelve countries. It would remain the longest race until The Amazing Race 11. The teams visited nine countries not previously seen on the show, including Uruguay, Argentina, Russia, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates, Philippines and Canada. This is the first time that the Middle East was visited on the race. Also, for the first time the final leg had an intermediate destination in a foreign country. This has also been the only season so far where all 6 inhabited continents have been visited.
During pre-production the producers moved the Dubai leg of the race from the originally planned location of Istanbul, Turkey. The reason for this decision has not been disclosed. Istanbul was eventually visited by the Race two seasons later.
Marshall and Lance were the first team in Amazing Race history to quit following Marshall's knee injury during the leg 6 roadblock in Luxor, Egypt. When the team arrived at the final roadblock site after all the other teams had left, the decision was made to give up rather than complete the frustrating 'needle in the haystack' digging task.
Two challenges were edited out of the program since they did not affect team placement. The first was a nut finding Roadblock in the markets of Dubai; the second, a tipi building challenge in Banff, Alberta.[6]

Brandon and Nicole finished the race on third place.
Applications were due on October 8, 2003. Filming began on January 30, 2004 and finished on February 27, 2004.[7]
Following two seasons that featured twelve teams, the contestant pool was reduced to eleven for this season. They included a military man, a dating widowed couple, female twins, a former Big Brother contestant, a team member with dwarfism, and a few beauty pageant queens.
Chip portrayed a young Muhammad Ali in the 1977 film The Greatest (Ali portrayed the adult version of himself). Alison of CBS's Big Brother 4 was the first contestant on a previously aired reality show to take part in this race. Erika, Alison, Nicole and Christie competed against one another in various beauty pageants. Christie was a former Miss Teen USA champion, while Nicole was the winner of Miss Texas USA.
Charla & Mirna returned to participate in The Amazing Race All-Stars among a cast of returning teams from seasons 1-10. Colin & Christie were engaged on The Early Show and they later expected to be on that season, but they declined due to Christie's pregnancy. Erika became a producer with the show and was on-hand during the Season 12 open casting call in Cabazon, CA. Alison later appeared on Big Brother: All Stars and was the first person voted out.
The show also featured Miss Uruguay Natalia Rodriguez Lassiy, who competed in Miss World 2003, as a greeter at the Uruguay pit stop, and Luli Arroyo, the daughter of then-Philippine president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as the local greeter at the Manila pit stop.
In 2005, Chip, Kim, Charla and Mirna all competed on the Bravo reality series Battle of the Network Reality Stars, along with 28 other individuals from various reality series. Mirna was a member of the winning team.

The fourth and last given key from the board will open a wooden box which contains another key that will unlock the glass box on the board, which contains their final clue. The broadcast only showed teams looking for one photograph of the Canada Olympic Park and then finding the box with the key.
