The season 25 premiere of The Amazing Race is finally set to premiere, and fans are in for a treat when a new set of 11 teams heads to a never-before-used location to begin their race around the world.

Misti & Jim Say They're Going To 'War' With Other Teams

To celebrate the show's 25th anniversary, the starting line once again returned to New York City, with teams racing from Times Square to reach their first destination, which was previously reported to be St. Thomas, in the British Virgin Islands.

When teams get there, they will encounter a task which will test their physical strength, as they not only dive into the water, but swim up to a mass of rocks, and encounter an obstacle course of sorts before diving from the top of the cliff and back into the ocean.

Firefighters Say They Want To Win For The Veterans

In a sneak peek clip from the episode provided by CBS, fans are able to see Soul Surfer inspiration Bethany Hamilton and her husband, Adam Dirks, take on the challenge and face-off against the team of college sweethearts, Tim Tsao and Te Jay McGrath-and the competitive spirit already appears to be in full gear.

"Shoot, they're catching up," the sweethearts say as they begin climbing onto the rocks, with Hamilton and Dirks swimming up close behind. "Oh God, we've just got to beat those surfers!"

Though Tsao and McGrath appear to be already feeling the effects of fierce competition, Hamilton and Dirks however appear to be trying to have more fun with the task, and exude some more care-free attitude while completing it.

Dirks does note however, that he's always impressed with his wife's attitude and decisions to try new things, despite only having one arm.

"Bethany continually blows my mind, "he says in the clip. "When we're surfing, she'll pull these moves that I can't even do with two arms and she's doing it with one arm. I fall more and more in love with her."

The Amazing Race season 25 premieres Friday, September 26 at 8 p.m. on CBS.
