Over the course of 36 seasons, contestants on The Amazing Race have traveled more than 1 million miles around the world, racing each other to see who can cross the finish line first. A new group of world travelers joined that tradition in The Amazing Race season 37, but who won the race?

With The Amazing Race approaching the quarter-century mark on CBS (it premiered in 2001), the show promised a number of new twists for this season to excite viewers. But one of the biggest was that this was the largest field of contestants in Amazing Race history, as 14 teams set off on the globe-trotting adventure.

Now that the season is concluded, check out the final standings for all 14 teams right here:
