The Foursquare brand page coincides with the tenth anniversary of the Emmy-winning reality competition series. Users can follow AmazingRace_CBS on Foursquare and get updated when teams on the show check in at new locations.

CBS is also using The Amazing Race brand page to promote various video travel tips from show host Phil Keoghan. CBS tells us it's the first brand to integrate video into the tips, but we haven't been able to confirm whether this is accurate.

In addition to the video tips and team checkins, Amazing Race fans can also get access to various bits of trivia, fun facts and photos at locations that teams have visited during the past ten years.

Linking The Amazing Race with Foursquare makes a ton of sense -- indeed, we're actually surprised it took this long for the network to embrace the location-based social network.

Let us know what you think of the promotion in the comments.
