HaMerotz LaMillion (Hebrew: המירוץ למיליון, lit. The Race to the Million) is an Israeli reality television game show based on the American series, The Amazing Race.

Leg 1 (Israel)

Group A

Airdate: 22 November 2014

The Montefiore Windmill in Mishkenot Sha'ananim sevred as the starting line of the race.

The race began for seven teams with them running from the neighbourhood of Mishkenot Sha'ananim to the Jaffa Gate, where they found a series of pole and chains forming a climbing wall. Teams needed to work together to climb to the top of this to reach their next clue at the top. This clue would direct them to the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens for the race's first Detour.

In this leg's Detour, teams had to choose between דבש (Dvash - Honey) and חלב (Halav - Milk). In Honey, teams would make their way to an apiary in the park where they would have to harvest a full jar of honey from some honeycomb. The twist was that teams would be wearing mesh cages on their heads and would have a bottle of live bees dropped inside of it while they worked. Once they had filled the jar, they would receive their next clue. In Milk, teams made their way to another area of the park. There, they had to use two long sticks (one stick for each team member) to carefully grasp bottles of milk by the neck. If teams could lift 12 bottles of milk and place them into a holding tray without dropping them, they would get their next clue.

The clue after the Detour only told teams to find the "Sweet Singer of Israel", and had to figure out for themselves that this referred to the City of David. There, they would find the Pit Stop.

Group B

Airdate: 26 November 2014

At the Eshkol reservoir, another seven teams had to puddle a raft and collect nine locked puzzle pieces from the reservoir by using a designated key. After collecting all the pieces and completing their puzzle, teams could receive their next clue. Next, teams had to collect water from reservoir by using a hollow tube and use their palms to block the water from leaking out. Then, teams had to become a "human transporter" and transport the tube into the reservoirs filtering station and fill two full cups of water from the transported tube.

After reaching Bat Shlomo teams had to drive to a field and play an historical memory game: The field contained two sets of balloons connected to sealed envelopes. One set contained pictures of historical events and the other contained a year. Teams had to match one historical event to its correct year and present it to the history teacher in order to receive their next clue. Had a team given the wrong match to the teacher they would have to listen a history lecture about the subject before they could search again.

After receiving their clue teams were directed to the Pit Stop which was described as "the area which was formerly been the stables of Malabas". Teams had to figure out that they were being directed to the HaMoshava stadium in Petah Tikva.

Leg 2 (Israel → Georgia)

Airdates: 29 November 2014; 3, 6 December 2014

After landing at the Tbilisi International Airport, teams needed to grab a clue from the windshield of one of 12 vehicles. Six of these clues would let the team depart immediately, while the other six required the teams to wait 30 minutes before departing. The clue directed them to Zaza's Chicken Farm in Martqopi. Once there, one team member had to enter an empty chicken pen and be covered with honey, chicken feed and worms while they lay on the ground. The other team member then had to enter an adjoining pen and move all of the chickens from there into the one with their partner. Only once the second pen was cleared of chickens, they had to search among the many eggs hidden there for one with a golden-coloured yolk inside. Once found, teams would get their next clue. Before departing the farm, teams had to vote the U-Turn.

After the previous task was the Detour. Teams had to choose between ז׳רטיס שמברבלי (Zhrtil Shmeberbli - Transport) and צ'ורצ'חלה (Churchkhela). In Transport, teams had to find the Tqkap Junkyard, where they would have to load old broken car parts onto the roof of another car and secure them down with seatbelts. Once everything was secure, teams had to manually push the cars out of the gates of the junkyard to get their next clue. In Churchkhela, teams had to find the Dry Bridge Bazaar, where they would pick up a display of Churchkhela, a local candy. They would have to sell every piece of candy they had for 1lari each. They could exchange all of their money for their next clue.

Teams were then directed to Rustaveli Avenue where they found the U-Turn reveal board. Teams traveled to the Georgian Dance Academy, where they would have to learn and perform a complex Georgian dance. This would involve timed steps and jumps, stunt fighting with swords and shields, and balancing a wine bottle on their heads. If the judge was satisfied, they would get a clue directing them to the Tbilisi-Spa. There, they would have to give a local man a mud bath, covering all exposed skin on his body except his head. After it soaked his skin for a certain time, they would scrape it off and wash his body before receiving their next clue.

Teams were then directed to the Olympic Reserves National Training Centre for a Double-Battle. Teams had to face off against one another in Chidaoba Wrestling, where contestants wore vests that could be grabbed by opponents. Two members of the team would fight each other, trying to throw the other to the ground or force them out of the ring. Then, the other two team members would fight. If both members of a team won, they would get their next clue. If one from each team won, then those two contestants would face off a third time to decide victory.

Teams then proceeded to the Tbilisi TV Tower, where they would sign up for departure times in the following morning. Four teams would leave at 8:30, four would leave at 9:15, and the last four would leave at 10:00. When the tower opened, teams found a Roadblock. The chosen team member had to climb up the ladder attached to one of the legs of the tower, and then continue climbing up a rope ladder. They then had to cross one of the support beams of the tower before they could pull up their next clue, dangling in the air by a rope.

This clue would lead teams to a Soviet Era Apartment building in Mukhiani district, where teams had to search for one of two elderly women. These women would try to teach the teams how to say a classical Georgian nursery rhyme. Every so often, the women would insist that both team members eat either a Khinkali or a Lobiani, both full of dough and calories. When teams could recite the nursery rhyme, they would get their next clue leading them to Alexander Park. Here, one team member had to partner with a local to describe the letters of the Georgian alphabet that made up a phrase, using their bodies to indicate the shape of the letter. If the other team member could spell out the phrase, they would receive a picture of the Chronicle of Georgia monument. This was their only clue as to the location of the Pit Stop.

Leg 3 (Georgia)

Airdate: 10, 13 & 17 December 2014

Teams were first directed to the Tbilisi central station, where they had to search for a person with gold teeth. If they found the correct person, she would hand them a business card written entirely in Georgian. This would lead teams to the dental office of Dr. Ilya Stomtashvili. There, teams would have to fill out a medical questionnaire and then be told to sit in the dentist's chair. Mr. Stomtashvili and his assistant would make to appear as if teams had to endure a painful dental procedure, but it was all a show to scare the teams. In the end, teams would receive a false gold tooth to wear over one of their regular teeth and their next clue. Before departing, they would vote for who would be Yielded.

When teams found the Tamura Farm in Akhalsopeli, they would have to unload 150 hay bales off of a truck and stack them into a neat arrangement on the ground. After this grueling task, teams received their next clue directing them to Gachiani. At the sheep farm, teams had to choose a number between 1 and 100. They would then have to chase after a flock of sheep, each wearing a tag with the numbers 1 to 100 on it, and find the sheep that had a tag matching the number they had chosen. Once they found it, they would carry it out of the pasture and fully shear it to get their next clue. This would direct them to the metallurgical plant in Rustavi, where teams had to carry many heavy pieces of scrap metal into the plant and place them into a marked bin. One team member would then use the plant's crane to pick up and move the bin to a marked "X" on the ground to receive their next clue. Before departing, teams would discover who would be Yielded.

Teams then returned to Tbilisi for a dictator-themed challenge at Pushkin Park.
