After a tough race to the finish line, the winners of The Amazing Race Canada’s 11th season have been crowned: Vancouver residents and best friends Jonathan Braun and Jesse Harink.
As the pair crossed the finish line, overcome with emotion, they embraced in celebration.
“I just am so happy we got to do this together,” Braun said. “This has been a life goal for so long and I just never thought it could ever come true.”
But it’s the runners up who’ve made their hometown of Prince George, B.C., proud: Secwepemc actor Grace Dove and her brother Joe Syme.
The pair got off to a somewhat rocky start, finishing second to last in the first leg of the race. But they quickly turned things around in the second leg, finishing second overall.
Dove and Syme stayed in the middle of the pack for a few weeks, but they were the top team for legs seven and eight, and ultimately finished in second place in the race across Canada.
