the final preparations toward the edge of extremity begin.
the sixth episode of MBC's "Extreme84" (directed by Park Subin · Kim Kiho · Jeong Jiwoon), airing on the 4th, depicts the extreme crew beginning full preparations ahead of their final challenge, the Arctic marathon.
the polar marathon held within the Arctic Circle is notorious for an unimaginably extreme course that requires running in subzero cold, blizzards, on glaciers and snowfields. Kian84 said, "there is no information at all," expressing a sense of helplessness, and the extreme crew felt a level of tension unlike before.
in response, Kian84 and the crew look for a polar marathon expert. the expert explains that unlike ordinary marathons, the Arctic marathon is a race where pre-event preparation is more important than anything. not only clothing layering suited to the cold and terrain but also numerous items for safety must be packed. faced with the need for preparation close to survival as well as running skills, the new crew member's expression reportedly grew increasingly grim.
extreme cold, blizzards and an unpredictable glacier course. heading toward the Arctic marathon called the "end of extremes," the extreme crew prepare in their own ways. the question of what choices and preparations each of them will make ahead of the unknown race only adds to the curiosity.
MBC's "Extreme84," which captures the full preparation process for the Arctic marathon, airs on the 4th at 9:10 p.m.
