On this day's broadcast, Gian84 and Gangnam overcame both repeated crises and finally succeeded in completing the race. Gian 84, who struggled with the chronic vomiting that came every time, went out to find stability by controlling his own nausea. He had another crunch ahead of the finish line, but he clenched his teeth to the end and ran through the finish line with the national flag, giving him a thrilling joy.

On this day, Gian84 who wore the necklace for the completion of the race said, "I thought of you a lot the whole time I ran," showing tears as he thanked Kwon Hwa-woon. As he prepared more strategically than ever for the tournament, he showed a step up with his final record of 5 hours, 9 minutes and 54 seconds, 44th place out of 125 people, adding to his impression.

Gangnam also succeeded in completing the full marathon course for the first time in his life. As the second half of the competition progressed, the leg pain became wider, making it difficult to take a step away, but he went one step at a time, calling his wife Lee Sang-hwa's name. Even when he had a cramp in his leg and collapsed, he got up again by the hand gestures of the runners who were running with him to "Let's go together" and realized the power of support to his body for the first time. In the end, Gangnam surprised everyone by crossing the finish line with a time of 5 hours, 57 minutes and 37 seconds left until the cutoff.

The surprise ceremony after the race was another highlight of the final episode. For Kwon Hwa-woon, who unfortunately finished fifth due to muscle spasms, Gian84 and Gangnam prepared their own trophies and medals, and expressed their sincerity that "you are always the first for us." Kwon Hwa-woon, who couldn't hide his regret while looking at the actual podium, choked up at the unexpected event and said, "I was happy to meet my brothers. We will continue to do so," he said, adding to his emotion.

After Kwon Hwa-woon and Gangnam left first, Gian84 remained alone in the North Pole to wrap up the journey. Faced with hundreds of thousands of years of Mother Nature, Gian84 thought, "You ran for this moment," recalling the crew members who had been challenging their limits.

The next day, the last running journal was released with images of Gian 84 running alone on snowy stone mountains with glacial landscapes. Gian84 said, "Running is not about fighting me and winning, but a process of understanding me," adding, "I will continue to run somewhere just as the glaciers move to an unknown sea."

MBC's "Extreme 84," which first aired in November 2025, is an ultra-extreme running entertainment about Gian84 jumping into an imaginary-exceeding course exceeding 42.195km, putting himself to the test in an extreme marathon environment and challenging himself to the end.

On this journey, Gian84 traveled all over the world with the extreme crew, not alone. South Africa's Big 5 Marathon, where the wild is alive, the French Medoc Marathon, which experienced both festivals and limitations, and the ultimate Arctic Polar Circle Marathon. Gian84 and Extreme Crew's long journey, which continued without a break, conveyed the meaning of laughter, sincerity, and challenge, and ended the long journey with deep emotion and joy.
