The countdown to the final challenge finally begins.

Tonight (the 18th), episode 8 of MBC's '극한84' (directed by Park Su-bin, Kim Ki-ho, and Jeong Ji-woon) will reveal the extreme crew standing at the starting line of the Arctic Polar Circle Marathon, the coldest and most brutal place on earth. Having traveled through Africa and France to finally reach the Arctic, the extreme crew takes on the weight of the final competition and steps into the final race.

Gangnam, standing at the starting line, cannot hide the nervousness of a novice runner who must run his first marathon in the Arctic. Even while frantically checking equipment and preparing to start, he continues to appear flustered and distracted. The Arctic marathon's completion time limit is 7 hours. With the single goal of "just finish," attention focuses on whether Gangnam, who stood at the starting line with that aim, can overcome the 7-hour barrier and cross the finish line.

Kian84 lets go of the pressure and anxiety that continued until the morning of the competition and comforts himself in front of the starting line. Saying, "Don't obsess, go as your legs move," he chooses his own pace and an attitude of enjoyment over records and results. On the eve of the final competition, Kian84, having reflected on himself, stands in the start zone with a noticeably more relaxed expression, raising expectations.

Meanwhile, Kwon Hwa Woon, carrying anxiety about the glacier section, stands at the starting line reaffirming his goal of finishing first. Kwon Hwa Woon starts the race in the lead group, but the race turns into a nail-biting phase as he repeatedly yields position while facing the glacier section and slippery track for the first time.
