Madison couple win $1M prize on 'Amazing Race'

MADISON (AP) — A Madison couple who appeared on the CBS show "The Amazing Race" has outlasted 10 other couples to win the $1 million grand prize.

On their way to victory, Dave and Rachel Brown raced across five continents, nine countries and 22 cities.

A Wisconsin State Journal report says they won in December, but their win was only revealed during the season finale Sunday night.

Dave Brown is in the Wisconsin Army National Guard and served in Iraq. He also teaches military science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Rachel Brown is a project manager for a software company.

Because Dave has been deployed overseas, and Rachel frequently travels on business, they say one of the most rewarding parts of the competition was the chance to spend so much time together.
