The race began with Ron Shachar introducing the first seven teams at the Sarona Boulevard in Tel Aviv. The first clue instructed the teams to make their way by taxi to Yarkon Park, once there, teams had to climb up a shaky rope ladder to a giant billboard which held a giant scratch ticket. Teams then had to balance on a pair of pegs that they had to move from slot to slot in order to reach the whole board. Using two giant Shekel coins, teams had to scratch off the board to reveal the message hidden underneath, "The world is waiting for you!". Once the message was revealed, teams would receive their next clue.
The next clue instructed the teams to make their way to Rothschild Boulevard #1, where they would find a large array of trash bins. Each trash bin had either a bottle or paper that they had to look for, but only some of them were marked with the race logo. If a team found one of the items but it was not marked, they had to properly recycle them in one of the recycling bins, and put the trash back in their original bin. Once the team found either the marked bottle or paper, they could exchange it for the next clue.
