After the Yukon knocked them out of last year’s Amazing Race Canada, Nicole and Cormac Foster finally conquered the territory last week.

The mother-son team was eliminated from the reality television competition during the episode filmed here.

However, Tourism Yukon and the Wilderness Tourism Association of Yukon partnered to bring the two contestants from the second season of The Amazing Race Canada back to the Yukon.

Each group chipped in $5,000 to bring the Fosters back to the scene of their elimination, said government communications analyst Stefanie Richardson.

The duo accepted the invitation to return to relive some of their experiences and to challenge themselves in the backcountry.

“The Amazing Race Canada was an excellent opportunity to showcase Yukon and it is a pleasure to welcome Nicole and Cormac back to the territory,” Minister of Tourism and Culture Elaine Taylor said in a press release.

“Yukon is the perfect backdrop for the epic adventures and endurance challenges this pair crave.”

While in the territory, the Fosters toured Kluane National Park, took part in a grizzly bear and glacier tour and explored Whitehorse attractions.

The duo also returned to the Whitehorse biathlon range, where they completed the task that contributed to their elimination from the show.

“I am so excited to be back in one of the most beautiful locations in Canada that I’ve ever seen and I was happy to tackle that biathlon again,” Nicole Foster said.

In the 2014 race, the biathlon event left the Winnipeg resident in tears as it took her 20 attempts – including penalty laps for each failed attempt – to successfully shoot five targets.

Filming took place in April 2014.

Aside from trying biathlon, contestants went dogsledding on Fish Lake, biked on Grey Mountain and canoed the Yukon River during the episode aired last August.

“The raw natural beauty of the landscape truly amazed me when we were lucky enough to visit Yukon. It’s great to be back to continue our adventure,” Cormac Foster said.

The mother-son duo are sharing their experiences from the show through motivational public speaking engagements across the country.

Video from their trip has been shared through Tourism Yukon’s social media channels.

Following the Fosters’ elimination in 2014, Tourism Yukon had offered the pair a free trip back to the territory as well as $5,000 for a local wilderness adventure.

Amazing Race Canada’s 2014 Yukon episode drew 3.5 million viewers, according to the press release.
