The Express Pass, introduced in Season 17, allows the team who possesses it to skip one task of the team's choosing. It is usually awarded as a prize to the first-place team in earlier legs, though occasionally it is awarded through other mechanics, such as being given to the first team to complete a task, by forcing a team to give a pass to another team of their choosing before a certain leg, or even by random. The choice of which task to skip is at the team's discretion, but the pass will expire if it is not used by a specific point. The twist of the Express Pass called Double Express Pass was introduced on Season 22 to 24, which the team that wins this reward must give the second Express Pass to other teams, with the remainder was kept by the winner as usual. The Express Pass was absent once on Season 25, due to introduction of The Save on the season, and absent again since Season 30.
