The Amazing Race 36
will premiere on CBS and Paramount+ on Wednesday, March 13, and this season will include Montgomery County native Kishori Turner competing alongside her cousin Karishma Cordero.

The duo announced that they’ll be on via social media, writing the following on Instagram last week, “Surprise! We’ve been holding in this secret for over a year now and we’re SO excited to finally share the news that we are on Season 36 of @theamazingrace. We had the adventure of a lifetime getting to race around the world together and can’t wait for you to watch our experience!”

Based on our research Kishori is a senior marketing strategist at Fannie Mae (publicly shared information), and a Gaithersburg native who is a 2016 graduate of Quince Orchard High School. The show, hosted by Phil Keoghan, features thirteen teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race around the Americas to win $1 million.
