Dr Elizabeth Grant (50) and Todd Grant (25) are the first mother/son team to compete in an Australian Production of the Amazing Race. Elizabeth and Todd are extremely high achievers in their respective fields.

Todd Grant has an Economics degree and a Bachelor of Laws after completing his secondary education at Pembroke School in Adelaide and Bishop's College in Capetown, South Africa. He completed his secondary studies with perfect scores. He studied for his Economics and Laws Degrees at the University of Adelaide and the prestigious University of California, Berkeley. A talented sportsman, he was contracted to play elite level cricket in South Africa and college rugby in the USA. At 25, Todd Grant holds the position of the National Marketing Manager of True Grit, and Australian designed military style obstacle challenge.

Dr Elizabeth Grant is an Senior Academic within the Office of the Deputy Vice Chancellor and Vice President at the University of Adelaide. She holds several undergraduate degrees in architecture and has been awarded Masters and Doctorate degrees in Indigenous Studies and Architecture. Dr Grant is an architectural anthropologist and a leading international scholar in the area of Indigenous Architecture and Design. She has received numerous awards for her work including being named as a Sir Winston Churchill Fellow.   

Both Elizabeth and Todd share a sense of humor, playfulness, a love of travel and discovering new places and have traveled extensively. The Amazing Race was a way of enjoying their mother/adult son relationship. They spent almost of the time laughing - and sharing the unique experiences that the show presents. Todd excelled at catching sheep and driving tractors in New Zealand, while Elizabeth skills at prawn fishing left a little to be desired, but they managed to laugh through their adventures.

They share a competitive spirit, but neither is confident about their long term prospects on the Race. "We're both determined and we are both very competitive, though I might not have the athletic ability for this show," observes Elizabeth. Todd agrees: "We're severe underdogs for the race and we are looking forward to having a great time."
