(A/N: This will be considered a prototype of my future story 'The Ridonculous Race Supreme' since no one hasn't sent any OC teams or picked a city in the poll in my FanFiction profile.)
Don's POV
"This is Toronto, the capital of North America, birth place of funk, where the albino panther roams free. Beneath my manly-size 13 brogues, 19 teams are arriving at this historic train station ready to embark on a race around the world. I'm your host, Don. And this is... THE RIDONCULOUS RACE!" I announced (while on the roof of a train station) before I flashed a smile.

*cue opening*

Don's POV (cont.)
"Welcome to the Ridonculous Race. Right now, nineteen teams from across the world are readying themselves to embark on a race to the death!"
My earpiece began to ring. I pressed it and heard my agent on the other line.
"Not to the death? Okay. Let's meet the teams that aren't racing to the death," I corrected myself before introducing all the participating teams.
--------
General POV (Let's go over to the focal team.)
Sarah and Sammy are riding in a taxi, the former drinking a bottle of water and the latter listening to some music in her phone.
"Sarah and Sammy, two girl buddies and cheerleaders," Don announced.

DUAL CONFESSIONAL TIME (CHEERLEADERS)
SARAH
"Sammy and I met on Pahkitew Island. And we've keeping in touch with each other ever since."
SAMMY
"We're really excited about the race. I mean, the two of us travelling the world together. Of course, Amy tried, and I mean tried, to outdo me in participating in this race but I was able to beat her."
END DUAL CONFESSIONAL

Sammy's POV
Sarah, me, and all the other teams gathered at the train station entrance. Among the teams were two goths in dark-colored attire, a girl about my and Sarah's age and her mom, a middle school boy and his dad, TD veterans Owen and Noah, TD veteran Geoff and his partner Brody, and many more. I even noticed Leonard accompanied by a girl in a Viking costume.
"Hey, Sarah. Leonard's here," I pointed Sarah to Leonard.
"So he is," Sarah said. "And that Viking girl must be his partner."
"Right this way teams. Over here." Don told us.
All of the teams grouped up.
"Welcome contestants. This is the starting line of your 26 part race around the world. Each part ends at a chill zone. Get there fast because the last team to stand on The Carpet of Completion may be cut from the competition. But the first team to reach our last chill zone will win $ 1 000 000!" Don said as all of us started cheering.
"Look over here." Don said, getting our attention. "This is our Ridonculous tip box also, known as the Don box. Press this button to get the travel tips that will lead you through the Ridonculous Race. Ready teams. On your Mark's, get set... RACE!" Don pointed as we all took off running, trampling Don in the process.
Sarah pressed the red button and picked up the tip.
"Race on foot to the CN Tower and find the Don box to get your next tip." Sarah read. "Come on!"
We then proceeded to run towards the tower's direction. We, along with Dwayne and Junior, were the first to arrive at the second Don Box.
"It's an Either-Or: Stairs or Scares." I read.
"What's an Either-Or?" Junior asked.
--------
Don's POV
"An Either-Or gives teams the choice of two challenges. They either climb 144 flights of stairs to reach the world's tallest observation deck. That's just under a billion stairs. Or scares. Take the elevator then get the scare of a lifetime by doing a sky-walk all the way around the outside of the tower. Not to worry though, they'll be wearing helmets. And as an extra precaution, we had a safety rail installed. Teams must finish either task and find this local guide for their next tip."
--------
Sarah's POV
"What do you think?" Sammy asked.
"Let's go for scares. The sky-walk may sound as terrifying as it is but at least we'll get there faster," I replied.
Me and Sammy dashed into the elevator. Dwayne and Junior shortly came in after.
"First ones in! All right. Way to go, Junior! Give me a high fi-" Dwayne attempted to give his son a high five and he ended up hitting all the elevator buttons.
All four of us exchanged a look.
"Whoops."
Sammy and I shared an ironic and deadpan glare.

DUAL CONFESSIONAL TIME (CHEERLEADERS)
SARAH
"Of all the people who had to do that, it had to be Mr. Dwayne."
SAMMY
"I still don't get why he was able to press all the buttons in one pass."
END DUAL CONFESSIONAL
--------
"Guess, we'll have to take the stairs, then," I mused as we got out and headed to the stairwell.
Sammy and I started running up the stairs. But after reaching the 4th flight, we had to slow down and to start walking so we won't tire ourselves. Of course, we strategically used the walk-run technique at intervals of 4 flights.
After this, we're finally able to reach the top of CN Tower and we receive the tip from the local.
"Catch a flight with a zip, ride a line to your tip," Sammy read.
--------
Don's POV
"Teams must take a flimsy zip line over Lake Ontario to this island airport and snag their next tip along the way. The line was tested this morning by our intern Andrew. Condolences again to his family."
--------
Sammy's POV
"Zip line? I've always wanted to do that!" A blond girl, whose name was Carrie, exclaimed.
"Zip line? I've never wanted to do that!" One of the tennis guys named Gerry complained.
"Hang on, girl. This is gonna be a wild ride," I said as we strapped ourselves to the zip cord.
And with that we took the zip line ahead of Carrie and her partner Devin, caught the tip midway, and landed on the mattress as Sarah read the tip.
"Take the first flight to Morocco."
"Come on let's go!" We ran to the book ourselves on the first flight. Wherever was this race really gonna take us? That's a question that we need to find out.
