context_page_description: The Amazing Race 11 is the 11th installment of the American reality television show The Amazing Race. The Amazing Race 11 featured eleven teams of two – ten returning teams from previous editions, and a dating couple who had met and competed against each other on a previous season – in a race around the world.
  The eleventh season premiered on February 18, 2007 at 8:00 p.m. EST, 7:00 p.m. CST, for one hour, and the season finale was on May 6, 2007. A DVD was released on May 1, 2013, courtesy of Amazon's CreateSpace program.
  Dating couple Eric Sanchez and Danielle Turner, who had competed on opposing teams on The Amazing Race 9, won this edition of the Race. They were the first team in the American version to win a season without relying on a Fast Forward or a Yield, and also the first winners to win only the final leg of the Race.

   Warsaw (Monument of the Polish Underground State and the Home Army) to Oświęcim (Auschwitz-Birkenau)
  Kraków (Juliusz Słowacki Theatre) 
   Kraków (Main Market Square – Fire Guard Tower and Town Hall Tower)
   Kraków (Okrąglak (in Polish) or Old Jewish Quarter – J. Mazurek Bakery and Klezmer Hois)
  Sułoszowa (Pieskowa Skała)  
  In the first Fast Forward of the Race, one pair of newly joined teams had to climb the stairs of the fire guard tower of St. Mary's Basilica and the Town Hall Tower located in the Main Market Square. They had to count how many stairs there were, add these numbers together, and present the total number to a guard atop the fire guard tower. If they had the correct answer (348), both teams would win the Fast Forward award.
  In this leg's Detour, the newly joined teams faced a choice between Eat It Up or Roll It Out. In Eat It Up, the Intersected teams had to make their way one-and-a-half miles (2.4 km) to an old market. Once there, each team member had to use traditional methods to make a three-inch (7.6 cm) length of Polish kiełbasa sausage. The teams would then be served 8 feet (2.4 m) of cooked kiełbasa. Once each person ate 2 feet (0.61 m) of sausage, the teams would receive their next clue. In Roll It Out, the Intersected teams had to make their way one-and-a-half miles (2.4 km) to the J. Mazurek bakery in the city's Kazimierz, the Old Jewish Quarter, and properly roll out twenty bagels. When finished, they would carry a delivery of fresh bagels one-quarter mile (400 m) to Klezmer Hois, and receive their next clue. Once teams completed the Detour, they were no longer Intersected.
  In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to don a full suit of authentic medieval armor, then lead a horse a half-mile (800 m) through the forest to the castle gates. Once at the castle, they had to deliver the horse to the stable boy, enter the courtyard, and search for the Pit Stop.
  Additional tasks
  At the monument of the Polish Underground State and the Home Army, teams had to pick up tickets for one of two charter buses to their next destination.
  At Auschwitz-Birkenau, teams had to light a memorial candle on the railroad tracks to honor those who lost their lives during the Holocaust. Once they observed the memorial silence, they would receive their next clue.
  At Juliusz Słowacki Theatre, teams encountered an Intersection that required two teams to agree to work together until further notice.
  After completing the Detour, teams had to find marked cars in a nearby parking a lot and drive themselves to Sułoszowa.
