Chasing Racers is back, with a brand new Amazing Race 14 mashup. This map will update the morning after every new episode. Send along tips, rumors, gossip, locations and spoilers to our map editors, become a member and comment on the stories below and add to the Jaunted-Flickr photo pool to get in on the fray.

Remember to zoom in, out and around on the map--with so much happening in each episode, it's easy to miss a map point.

This week, it's the finale of The Amazing Race 14. Eleven teams set out on a race around the world, covering three continents, nine countries and over 40,000 miles in a three week filming period. Eight teams have fallen by the wayside, and only the top three remain in this tight competition. Who has what it takes to cross the finish line and win the million dollar prize?

LET'S FIND OUT!

We can think of a million reasons to go to Hawaii, not the least of which is to hang ten. (Campaigning for president is a close second.) But if you're heading to Maui later this month and forget your board, the Pacific Whale Foundation offers travelers a chance to get out on the water and in the process, do some good.

Volunteers gather at the Maui Coastal Land Trust every Friday morning at 7:30 to clear invasive species from inland fish ponds. It doesn't sound like much--even if it is a four-hour commitment--but their efforts protect ecosystems found only in Hawaii. Sure, there are better ways to spend an island vacation than removing slimy snails and stewing seaweed, but getting your hands dirty this time around means Hawaii's natural beauty will last through your next visit, too.

And if that's not enough? All volunteers get a swank free t-shirt, which could be good for scoring free drinks at the local Mai Thai joint. Now that's something we're willing to work for.
