Conner Wilson and Garrett McGuire, childhood friends from Placer County who met at age three when their strollers collided at Monte Verde Park in Rocklin, are competing on The Amazing Race for a $1 million prize. The pair say their 24-year friendship endured college and returns to the area and provides a mix of strengths, with Wilson calling himself analytical and McGuire describing himself as comedic and athletic. Their season began at the starting line in Vancouver and has taken teams more than 25,000 miles through unfamiliar countries and challenges. Each team on this season started with an Express Pass, adding a strategic element to when advantages are used. Wilson emphasized his pride in representing Placer County on television, saying, "Placer County till the day I die" and noting few locals appear on the big screen. From a stroller collision in Rocklin to a global competition, the friends are testing their long partnership on The Amazing Race.
