S11 E17: It’s All Ripe Now
14 min 10 September 2026The Go Green Race heads back to Canada, where the final four racers arrive at a local, organic farm outside Vancouver for a high-stakes cooking challenge.

S11 E16: Drive My Carbon
14 min 27 August 2026In this leg of the Go Green Race, we head deep into the rainforests of Suriname, where racers must track down the animal “engineers” that help keep the forest healthy and thriving. But with a surprise double elimination looming and Ryan pushing her buttons, Olivia has an even bigger challenge: figuring out what kind of racer she wants to be. With only a handful of racers left, Olivia’s about to take her biggest gamble yet. If you're a kid who loves science and animal facts, you'll love Earth Rangers! Visit earthrangers.com to learn more!

S11 E15: Copycats in the Cradle
14 min 13 August 2026The Go Green Race moves on to the bustling city of San José, Costa Rica, where the racers must prove that green claims are actually true – because anyone can slap a label on something. Olivia heads to a vibrant market to track down real evidence of sustainability, but she quickly picks up an unwanted shadow who copies her every move. Between a tongue-wagging rival, a scarlet macaw with sticky fingers and an overturned fruit cart, the market is anything but a break from the jungle. But just when Olivia finally starts making decisions for herself instead of reacting to everyone around her, one impulsive choice could change everything – and Ryan saw the whole thing.

S11 E14: Get Off of My Cloud
16 min 30 July 2026The race swings to the Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica, where the racers must zipline in, tread lightly, and photograph three examples of how this rare ecosystem holds itself together – without leaving a single trace they were ever there. One wrong move and you're out on the spot, no second chances! Olivia is already rattled before the challenge even begins, thanks to a certain someone on the zipline platform, and when she decides to get even, the consequences ripple further than she ever expected. Friendships are tested, tempers flare and deep in the mist of the cloud forest, Ryan lets something slip that changes how Olivia sees him entirely. Some places have a way of making people get honest – whether they're ready to or not. If you're a kid who loves learning science and animal facts, you'll love Earth Rangers!

With the animal shelter back home on the line and the finish line finally in sight, Olivia has never had more reason to get it right.

Olivia has to choose between her own race time and going after him, all while a mysterious shoe-swapping Ivy keeps popping up in places she shouldn't be able to reach. And just when Olivia thinks her race might be over, news from back home makes winning matter more than ever before.

S11 E11: Kenya Hear me Knock
15 min 18 June 2026The race lands in Kenya's Loisaba Conservancy, where the stakes just got enormous – literally. With only 20 racers left and just 10 markers hidden across the savannah, half the field is about to go home. Olivia follows a herd of elephants across cracked, dry ground to track down her marker, while Ivy's mysterious field researcher advantage raises more questions than it answers. The grand prize is finally revealed, and it's worth racing for. But is Olivia imagining things – or is something a little strange going on with Ivy?

The Go Green Racers tackle a high-stakes recycling challenge inside a real sorting facility, where one wrong item can ruin an entire batch. And one distracted racer ends up trapped in a fenced compound with a very confused wild boar. And Ryan. When Olivia and her least favourite rival find themselves cornered together, they're forced to ask a question neither saw coming: what if they've been assuming the worst about each other all along?

When the racers tackle a series of floodgate checkpoints, Olivia loses her phone to a canal (thanks, Emma) but gains a new friend mid-panic attack Will her streak of accidental brilliance carry her to the finish line – or will the city that's spent 800 years holding back the sea finally teach her when to let go?

S11 E8: Here Comes the Swan
16 min 7 May 2026The Go Green Race rolls into Copenhagen – a city so obsessed with bikes it practically has wheels instead of sidewalks.

S11 E5: Ice, Ice, Maybe?
15 min 26 March 2026The race lands on Ellesmere Island in Canada's High Arctic – and it is cold . Like, three-pairs-of-socks cold. The challenge: each racer has three hours to solve a glacier riddle and decide if it's fact or fiction. Get it wrong and you're going home.

S11 E4: Go Your Own Way
19 min 12 March 2026The race heads to Cap Tourmente National Wildlife Area in Quebec, where the stakes just got real: at least one racer is going home today. Olivia must navigate a "choose your own path" adventure through a stunning wildlife area – solo, after the group splits up one by one. There are cryptic clues, a surprise moose encounter, endangered monarch butterflies, a very confusing bilingual trail marker, and a hill that nearly destroys her legs. Can Olivia trust her instincts – and her so-so French – to get to the finish line first? If you're a kid who loves learning science and animal facts, you'll love Earth Rangers!
