Velyki Perehony (Ukrainian: Великі Перегони; English: Great Race) was a Ukrainian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Following the premise of other versions in the Amazing Race franchise, the show follows ten teams of two as they race around the world. The show was split into legs, with teams tasked to deduce clues, navigate themselves in foreign areas, interact with locals, perform physical and mental challenges, and travel by air, boat, car, taxi, and other modes of transport. Teams are progressively eliminated at the end of most legs for being the last to arrive at designated Pit Stops. The first team to arrive at the Finish Line wins the grand prize of ₴500,000.[1][2]
