Teams travel down the Tytyri Limestone Mine to complete a Roadblock

In the first Detour, teams had to decide between Swamp This or Swamp That. Both options are methods by which Finnish athletes keep themselves in shape during the warmer months. Swamp This was cross country skiing through bog, and Swamp That was an obstacle course through bog. The Roadblock for this half of the leg was to search the mine for a marked dig site and get a piece of limestone. They then had to use tools to break it open to get their next clue, which was inside of it. As an additional task, each team member had to rappel face-first down from the top of the tower of the Helsinki Olympic Stadium.

On the second half of the leg, the Roadblock consisted of taking a Russian T-64 Tank through a training course. The second Detour was a choice between Make the Music or Find the Music. In Make the Music, teams went to Dance and Groove, a dance club in Kiev and had to perform a rap incorporating the names of all of the nations visited so far on the Race. In Find the Music, the teams had to go to the Ukrainian National Music Academy and find a copy of the sheet music of Tchaikovsky's Concert Fantasy for Piano and Orchestra, and then find a pianist to perform the piece for them.
