Previously on Race to Survive Alaska.

Let's go!

Eight teams of elite athletes embarked
on an epic journey across Alaska in a

competition unlike anything ever seen
before.

All for a chance to win a half million
dollars.

Going toe -to -toe with some of the
world's toughest landscapes. Oh, my God.

One bear per square mile.

Oh, shoot.

But Alaska fought back with a vengeance.

I can't.

leading to catastrophic injuries and
heartbreaking goodbyes for some players.

There's a helicopter coming to rescue
someone.

It's very sobering. We're going to go
home.

They endured pain, each other, and
miserable survival camps. I didn't know

could be this hungry.

And along the way, five teams were sent
home.

I think I may need to stop.

We have to get through this. I know, I
know. My dad hasn't exerted himself like

that for a long time.

Really proud.

Now, only three remain.

Out of the gate, Alaskan brothers Oliver
and Wilson put their speed on display

and claimed five top spot finishes.

We're going in the right direction.

But despite their winning ways, they've
been plagued by self -doubt and poor

navigational skills.

What if we do choke and that costs us
half a million dollars?

Climbing and survival experts Max and
Christian prove more than worthy

adversaries, challenging for first on
every leg.

Freaking go.

Forging a well -rounded game and
partnership.

Hungry to have the final say on this
competition.

Finally, mountaineering siblings Bella
and Kaysen appeared as unlikely

contenders. We're not claiming to be the
best at anything we've done.

Out of the big city and into the back
country, they learned on the fly and

persevered, surprising everyone with
their determination.

They're playing all of us. You guys are
sandbaggers.

Who will come out victorious and claim
the life -changing $500 ,000 prize?

And who will go home with nothing?

This is Race to Survive, Alaska.

Race to Survive, AK.

Here goes nothing.

It is race day.

Pushing for the final and single
medallion. It's built up to this moment,

culmination. We've got to give it 110 %
and finish this with no gas in the tank.

And that's exactly what we're going to
do.

We came this far, won every single race.

We're in people's heads.

Living rent -free up there.

So that might be able to help us, give
us a little edge anyways.

Growing up with four brothers my whole
life has been about proving I can do the

same things they can and out here I feel
that same drive to prove myself.

I want to beat these men.

That's what it comes down to

The final three teams are being dropped
alone at the most remote and barren

landscape of the entire race.

A sandbar deep in the Alaskan glacial
ice field.

Let's go!

All right. Is it good?

Oh, there it is. There it is. Let's go.

Three, two, one.

I just need a little light, a bag, a
map.

Out of all the races, this is the only
one that actually matters.

This is the best of the best going head
-to -head. Welcome to the final link in

Race to Survive Alaska.

Bushwhacking rivers, glaciers, oh my.

This last link builds on everything
you've done up to this point.

Alaska has pushed you to your limits,
but this link might prove more than you

bargained for. For five weeks, Alaska
has beaten us down, battered us. So for

this last race, Wilson and I are going
to best Alaska.

You've earned your spot, but do you have
what it takes to secure the last pair

of medallions for the half a million
dollars?

We're so ready to race our hearts out.
And most importantly, take home that

a million dollar prize, which is life
-changing money.

The teams have traversed almost 100
miles of merciless land, overcome unique

challenges, and survived five
eliminations, all to arrive at the

of their will and strength.

The final race is a two -day, 30 -mile
battle against Alaska.

This time, she's serving up her toughest
and most dangerous terrain yet.

Teams will face five zones, navigating
through thick Alaskan brushland,

down rampant rivers, sprinting across
rocky landscapes, swimming in unbearably

cold waters, and ascending a glacial
wall.

The first team to reach the final crate
will win half a million dollars.

This is it. Let's go.

You guys ready? Yes.

On go.

Three,

two, one.

I'm not a spritzer. I'm not either.

The first of five zones is brutal.

Starting with an unforgiving three -mile
slog through some of the densest

terrain that teams have encountered,
they must find the fastest route to the

inflatable pack raft, situated along a
raging river dividing the valley.

Our plan is to go as fast as we possibly
can and pace these guys.

You know, we don't even care. We're not
even trying to navigate. We're just

trying to... keep up with them, and then
navigate once we can pass them. You

know, sometimes you have to make a
gamble that you're hoping is going to

dividends.

It's just like this overgrown trail
with, like, some alders.

Will this road end? Take the left. Okay.

The plan?

Shatter this semblance of a path until
it dead -ends at the river, which they

can track north to the pack rafts. While
Christian and Max follow suit.

Bella and Kacen opt for a more direct
but grueling route.

You okay?

Yep.

Devil's Club is not letting up.

This is the bush rock.

I think the other teams are taking more
roundabout route that stays on the flat

sand. We know that Oliver and Wilson and
Max and Christian can run faster than

us. So our only chance is to navigate a
direct path and beat them to the

packraft transition, which we know is
going to be a big make or break.

We're just going to follow that bearing.
There's not a ton of contour lines on

our map or landmarks.

So we're just bushwhacking to a bearing,
which is harder than it seems.

This is a good plan.

Woo! Woo!

Thank you!

We're running as fast as we can, but we
got Max and Christian on our heels the

whole time.

Oh, shit.

It's like these guys can actually move?

When you're in front, you don't like
having someone right behind you. It's so

much easier to chase.

You don't have to find the way.

It's literally shake and bake, Ricky
Bobby. You know, you draft each other,

someone else... is bashing through the
bush and you don't have to fight as

Don't work harder, work smarter.

Good work, boys.

We're not going to let him out of our
sight.

I hear the river.

Can we make them make a mistake and then
pass them up?

I have to say, this is bad.

Keep following the water.

Where are we going?

We're following the river.

Yeah.

That was weird.

We're just going north.

We're going in circles.

I think

we

curve

right more than anything and hit the
water.

I think this is the right way.

Last more?

That doesn't make sense.

Every single decision out here is make
or break. You make one bad nav, it's

over.

We're going in circles.

Seemed like we're going the right way.

That was weird.

That was weird.

The clock is ticking, and in the race
that matters the most, Oliver, Wilson,

Max, and Christian are lost, navigating
in circles and failing to make forward

progress. Can we be up here? Lost up
here.

We were following the 8K boys, pacing
them. We felt like we were going in

circles, so we ran, petered out right
here when we hit the water.

And I think we curved, and we're like in
here now.

Yeah. And you go there.

They're not the greatest at navigation.
We've known that throughout this

challenge. Let's go that way. In
retrospect, we probably shouldn't have

that. And you just got to be okay with,
you know, learning from your mistakes

and then keep moving on.

Now we actually need to navigate instead
of following these guys.

The north is that way. Yeah, that's what
we want to do. We want to stay going

upriver.

Let's get some distance on these boys.

They're still back there.

You guys know where you are?

I don't know. It's over there.

I lost.

You got to get to that paddle section
first.

Bell and Kaysen might beat us.

Should we follow those guys?

Well, it's not from where we came from.

I'm hoping Bell and Kaysen aren't way
ahead of us at this point.

Hey, yo.

Despite their own bushwhacking hell,
Bell and Kaysen cash in on Oliver and

Wilson and Max and Christian's
navigational donut.

Closing the gap on the front two teams.

That hurt.

Okay.

I'm going to try and find the best path
through these monsters.

Keith and I have proven in the last few
race legs that we have what it takes to

win. We have adapted to this
environment.

Mentally, we're very strong.

So all of those factors combined.

Make case that I have a very formidable
team. The other team should be worried

about us.

Oh, that's cold.

Barrel through.

Almost three miles in, all teams are now
nearing the pack raft.

Got to be getting close here.

AK boys are behind it.

I can't stop thinking about, like, the
lead that Max and Christian have and how

they got it.

The AK boys are right on our tail.

I had to remind myself, okay, this is a
long race. We're going to pass him back.

We should, if we haven't been going in
circles, we should be getting relatively

close.

So dead. There's no vantage point.

We are actually functioning really,
really well as a team. Which way? This

Got it. But Bella and I are not as fast.

So our best hope, they get lost.

And we get to the pack raft first.

Out of the bush, teams will brave 12 and
a half miles through a torrent of

rapids while trying to outpace the race
clock, counting down to the end of day

one.

You guys see the pack raft?

Nice work.

I think they're right over there.

Dude, yes.

A road push right there.

Let's freaking go.

There are still three sets of pack
rafts, officially putting Max and

in the lead. That's the push rock, yeah.

Freaking epic, yeah.

Being efficient in our transitions is
going to be huge today. That's what it's

all about.

Oh, man.

Clock's ticking.

If we can get these transitions done
really quick, we might be able to catch

them right now.

I can feel the fire in both of us.

Wow, let's go.

You can cut the tension with a freaking
knife.

We're all trying to work as fast and
efficiently as possible because there's

$500 ,000 on the line.

It keeps hanging out. There's a one -way
valve on the pack wrap, and I didn't

have it closed right, so I'd blow it up,
and the air would come back out.

It should be on the one -way valve. And
that cost us.

It sucks.

Oliver and Wilson definitely have a
shook look. You know, they're like, holy

crap, these guys are actually keeping
up.

And boom, we're done.

All right, we're going to paddle hard.

Here we go.

Yeah, buddy, let's get it.

We see half a million dollars paddling
away.

Right now, I just feel defeated.

Like, angry. Because it's not supposed
to be that way. We should be in the

water. You ready?

Good. Oh, yeah, man.

Hitting our stride. We're going to win
this thing. You got to keep, just stay

humble, man.

I'm not being cocky. The AK boys are
right on our tail.

We got to catch these guys.

Second place up. Let's take back the
lead.

Bill and Kathan are stuck in the bush.

Yeah, dude.

It is nasty in there.

We're so close.

We are so...

Close. Oh, man.

Oh, Bella.

Oh, my God.

Ollie and Wilson.

Bye. Okay.

We're right behind Ollie and Wilson, and
they're right behind Max and Christian,

so we're still in it.

What's all that?

We've got to step up our game in a big
way.

We're going to have to paddle pretty
hard to catch Max and Christian.

Okay.

I'm really proud of how we work together
in what we're really tough conditions.

I would describe it like being stung by
a hundred bees at once, being kicked in

the face by a horse, all while racing
for half a million dollars.

Let's catch up. We're not far behind.

With less than an hour on the race
clock, the teams must traverse 12 .5

vicious rapids.

The minefield of rocks poses a major
risk for damaging the inflatable raft.

The water temperature is just a couple
degrees above freezing.

Capsizing could be fatal, as the rapids
will show no mercy.

The step to this rapid in a pack raft is
kind of mental. It's game time.

Here we go!

Woo! Here we go!

Woo! Woo!

Stay left, stay left, stay left.

It's like looking down the barrel of a
gun. You know that this is dangerous.

Okay, keep it straight. Keep it
straight.

I've never done white water in my entire
life.

Popping my cherry today.

Yeah. Paddle on your right. Paddle on
your right. Straight.

Paddle on your right.

Paddle on your right. It is raging. It
is pumping.

You can drown in here.

Straighten out.

Drop.

Keep going, paddle.

Where are we going?

That's the park right here.

Go to the right.

Oh my god.

As the race clock ticks towards zero,
all teams are now within 30 minutes of

each other.

That's a rock right here.

Left. Follow your left. Follow your
left.

Oh my god.

Oh shit.

Uh oh.

Did we rip it?

That's good.

Alright.

Let's go.

We're good, we're good.

Paddle on your right.

Straighten out.

Straighten, straighten.

Straighten out.

We're going to the right.

To the right? Yeah, we're missing these
straps.

Straighten out.

Right this way, right this way.

We've got to paddle hard if we want to
get over there.

I just keep going out hard, hard left,
hard left.

Paddle hard in there.

Hard right. I know, but paddle on the
right.

We don't want to go that way. We want to
stay left. We don't want our boats to

turn sideways.

Keep up.

That's what I'm doing.

Woo!

Yeah!

Oh,

yeah.

That was epic.

What a scene, dude.

So sick.

Yeah, buddy. We're in first place.

Still not seeing AK boys.

Hopefully they dump their shit.

That felt like a wolf.

Yeah. Chasing our bread. I know, right?
A .K .A. boys for breakfast.

All right.

Notice how when they got all turned
around, Tide's turned.

They were shook. And they're like, we
got to follow these guys because they're

actually going to navigate. Right.

I was really starting to think that Bell
and Cason might make it. Because

they're going to beat us. Because of all
that shenanigans.

100%. Just like fishing.

That was crazy.

That was cool.

Hit a rock right off the start. That was
funny.

Okay.

Almost through.

Nice job.

Okay.

Okay.

We made it.

The 12 -hour race period has ended.

Each team must stop where they are and
camp for the night.

At the end of day one, Max and Christian
pull ahead with a half -mile lead over

Oliver and Wilson.

Bella and Kaysen are not much farther
behind.

Wow, look at that. That is so epic. Oh,
my gosh.

That is the AK I was dreaming of. Wow.

This is like a known fire.

Big driftwood fires.

My aunt would always tell me stories,
all the cold winters or times when they

didn't have too much food.

We should have some pilot bread and
berries, huh?

Now that I'm like... super hungry and
getting cold, you know, just gives you

that much more respect for her and all
my other relatives that grew up like

that. Can't wait to go home.

Can't wait to see my girlfriend.

Can't wait to see my mom, my aunt, my
grandma.

Dreaming of the end crate.

That's all I'm thinking about.

I'm really soaking it in right now
because tomorrow is our final race day

it's all over.

Overnight, a massive Alaskan storm rolls
in above the mountains.

Mother Nature's not going to make things
easy leading into the last day of the

race.

Day two, Mother Nature.

It's the final day of the race, and only
one mile separates all three teams as

they... bring to their next challenge.

One, two, three.

Woo!

We got to keep pushing.

Got to keep this lead. It's ours to take
home.

It ain't over till it's over.

Go, go, go.

See the map out?

Yeah. We got to get across this.

I'm really happy we're here.

I'm really happy we're here, too. Like,
this is insane.

We're minutes behind the two teams in
front of us.

All right, this will do it.

The frozen ascent begins with a two
-mile all -out sprint along the

and into the jagged rocky terrain
leading to the glacier challenge.

You got to be very fast on these
transitions. We want to keep our lead.

We did not see any teams. I think we got
a solid 10, 15 -minute lead right now.

But I could evaporate quickly.

We've got to go right over there.

Max and Christian, right there.

That puts us in a really strong
position.

Yeah, we caught up. That's the most
important thing, we caught up.

Historically, Wilson and I have huge
second days. Second days is where we

the most damage.

That's where we delete leads or stretch
leads out.

We have to dig deep so we can catch up
and beat them.

I've just been competing my entire life.

Like, from t -ball all the way up into
high school sports, collegiate sports.

That's just what I do. When I see
someone jogging on a trail, like, I just

to be faster than them.

I don't know why. It's just the way I
take.

We made it.

Sweet.

Trade shot bearing would be almost due
west.

We can do that.

All teams have plotted a straight path,
making it a full -on footrace to the ice

climb.

The terrain is mostly flat, favoring
Bella and Kaysen as they harness their

marathon skills to make up ground.

But just ahead, Oliver and Wilson
channel their sprinting prowess, closing

gap on first place.

This is it, man.

Teams must swim across the glacier lake.
A 100 -yard bone -chilling swim leads

to a set of fixed ropes.

The teams must clip in and pull
themselves from the water, then climb a

-story building of glacial ice.

Once both team members summit, they
continue to race across the glacier.

Gotta keep moving.

No pain, no gain.

That's what we signed up for.

This is a, you know, no mistakes kind of
area.

Almost there, Christian!

This is something where Max and I can
put a lot of faith on other people

we've been climbing for years at this
point.

It's hard to get a footing on anything.

You're kind of just slipping all over
the place.

Your feet need to be on the ladder, bud.

Step up, pull.

Feet, slide.

Step, pull.

With 500 ,000 on the line, Christian's
years of competition ice climbing are

paying off when it matters most.

But Oliver and Wilson are fast
approaching, just minutes behind.

The AK boys were right on our tail.

Our competition is right there.

Yeah.

Caught up.

Wouldn't I mind a bigger lead?

We're going to pass them today.

Yeah, definitely.

Let's go!

We're not far behind.

I'm almost up.

Hurry up. Let's go.

Come on. Let's go.

You got it.

Let's go, man. Come on. Hurry.

Come on.

Let's keep our lead.

Ascending the ice wall is really
awkward, and I'm struggling.

It's one of those movements where you
have to do it all in one motion, and I

can't get the ascender to bite right.

I should be with Wilson right now, but
instead I'm down here struggling.

I'm failing the team right now. The
Alaskan brothers are showing signs of

faltering.

Oliver's struggle on the glacier cost
him precious time, allowing Max and

Christian to gain an even bigger lead.

That was cold.

Let's do this, Bella.

And giving Bella and Kaysen a chance to
overtake them. This adventure challenge

scares me the most. This is in the
water. You know you have to move your

and climb out of the water in a vertical
ascent. And that is a terrifying

prospect. The glacial swim is something
to fear.

With temperatures close to freezing,
loss of mobility in hands and feet can

occur in just three minutes.

It's not really a mental challenge for
me. It's will my body still be able to

move? Will my fingers be able to ascend
the rope?

Bella, slow down your breathing. You're
hyperventilating.

I don't feel safe doing this.

It is so dangerous.

I'm really worried about Bella
maintaining that core body temp.

At a certain point, it really does
become a safety issue. You could die

hypothermia. Can you pull yourself up?

I can't! I can't! I can't!

Jason?

I can't.

Can you pull yourself up on your
spindle? I can't. I can't. I can't.

I can't. I can't pull myself up.

I can't do my toes.

I can't do my feet.

Bella, okay.

Deep breaths.

Bella, slow down your breathing.

You want to grab onto mine as well?

It's okay.

We're so close.

While Bella and Kaysen face the icy
wall, the other two teams confront the

Alaskan brushland, an unforgiving five
-mile trek navigating through dense

forest. There, inside one of dozens of
coves at the edge of Scott Lake, are

three pack rafts tucked away, hidden
from sight.

This is a $500 ,000 run, baby. Let's go.

I already have my backpack on ready to
run. He doesn't even have shoes tied. I

just get pissed off.

Maybe his parents would wait on him.

My mom's like, there's three kids in the
car. I need four.

We're going to leave now. I got the
majority of them.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come
on. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

It's a spring!

I feel like I'm missing something.

What I've been doing is stepping up and
then pulling the rope through.

Oh, okay.

Okay. One, two, three.

I'm out of the water.

That's good.

Kick it in the haven.

Good bearing?

Yeah, north is this.

North is that way. Hell yeah.

Push, Bastion. Come back.

You can't see them at all, but we're
right on Max and Chris's tail.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah. You can see the top.

I'm getting better at this.

I think.

When we start out the challenge, I
thought there was a chance we might not

it through.

We just flushed it.

We did it.

Okay. The whole thing is a huge test of
not just strength, not just smart, but

also mental fortitude. That's why we're
here. That's why we're so funny. And

that's why we're still in this race. And
we're going to keep pushing through to

the end of this final race leg with
everything we've got.

Let's do it.

All three teams advance on the dense
brush in search of the rafts.

Choosing a good route in the forest is
critical on this five -mile flaw.

Let's just go to the safe in like a half
hour.

Today we're trying to really trust the
compass.

These woods are pretty thick, so it's
funny you can see where you're going.

Running a mile with bad navigation can
be the same as just fast walking half a

mile, you know.

Oh, this is that trail, so don't go too
long.

Right is looking more open.

Okay, then go for it. This is good
moving. We can move left later.

Got kind of a meadow over right. Yeah, I
saw that, but that's the wrong way.

We got to get up on that hill.

Max and Christian lead the way, heading
into higher ground, while Oliver and

Wilson choose the muskeg, a calculated
move where they can open up and haul at.

We found this line of muskeg. In these
woods, it's like a highway.

Sitting in third, Bella and Keith will
need to kick it into high gear to catch

the other team.

Let's do it.

I think it's straight through, but...
Yeah, this way.

Which way? This way. Okay.

Oh, good. More incline ahead.

That's a good sign.

We are smart racers, and we know our own
pace and what it takes. Watch the holes

here. And slippery, slippery.

We did not come this far only to get
this far.

All we need is Ollie and Wilson or Max
and Christian to make one small mistake,

and we could be grabbing this and dying.

Due north.

Max!

Yo!

We're here.

Make sure you don't lose me, man. I'm
sorry.

Oh, there's a big muskeg on the right
-hand side. We gotta go that way. Yeah.

We have a lake on the left, by the way.

Yeah.

It's either a lake or just a very wet
muskeg.

Hard to tell.

I'm kicking ass right now.

Oh, I see Muskeg.

Yeah, buddy.

Zach! Christian and I have a main
difference, is that he's not ultra

-competitive. Don't have anybody ever
wait for you. No one will ever have to

wait for me.

Zach, where are you?

When we get separated and we're slowing
down, that could allow... Bella and

Kacen to catch up to us or Oliver and
Wilson to pass right by us. So we have

keep together and not waste time trying
to catch each other.

Max! It's frustrating.

No! Max!

Jesus.

I obviously wasn't. Well, that was the
first time that's ever happened to me.

Most of the time, Max kind of runs his
own show. Be careful on that, Max. It's

not worth it.

No, we got it. You sure?

Yeah. But we are a team, and we have to
be able to talk to each other.

And it is important for me to find my
own way, but whoever's leading the way

needs to make sure that they're being
safe for the team.

This way?

Yeah. Double club.

That's on a tree.

You know what, let's just circle around
here.

Okay. With no letup in sight, Alaska
saved her roughest landscape for last.

Third place Bella and Kaysen will need
to be stronger than the thick forest to

gain any ground. We're pushing. It's
hard, but we're trying to take as direct

route as possible to make up some time
on the other teams.

Yeah, this definitely feels like our
second peak. Yeah, right?

I hate bushwhacking.

I hate it. But we're two -thirds of the
way done.

We are two -thirds of the way done. It's
not just... going out of your comfort

zone, it's embracing that, and it's
trying to do that with a smile, even

smile is literally the last thing you
could muster in those moments.

I think this is the lake.

No, that's the one we were just at,
trying to go around.

No, not at all. I promise you. No, we
went around it already.

That was back there.

No, I promise you.

Same lake.

Look at your map.

Okay, well, maybe we just did that.

So we keep going that way.

You sure, man?

100%. Max and I both have a very good
idea of what we think we should do. And

everything in my heart is saying I'm
right and we should do this. But if you

truly trust someone, you have to put
that aside and do what's best for both

you.

Hopefully it doesn't backfire because we
really can't afford to go the wrong

way. Trust me.

Okay. This is cattle.

Yeah.

The teams close in on their pack drafts.

Currently in second, Oliver and Wilson
rely on their brute speed to plow

forward.

In third, Bella and Kaysen continue to
prove their mettle as they fight through

the brutal Alaskan landscape.

Let's keep pushing through a little bit.

Hopefully that was a gnarly attack. Holy
shit.

You okay?

Yep.

Let's go.

As for Max and Christian, still in first
place.

Well, that blows.

A navigational gut punch wrenches their
plans.

You got to head back.

There's two lakes. There's another one
that opens up right here.

We made it through the lake, and we
thought we were actually at

the lake where we need to paddle, but
that wasn't the case. I mean, obviously

we're good at navigating, but I didn't
stick to the script.

You're like, I'm 100 % sure, and I
trusted you.

We're a team.

and he needs to be ready to separate how
great he thinks he is and just listen.

With time and a premium, Max and
Christian backtrack, unaware they're on

collision course with Oliver and Wilson.

Yo.

Max, they're pulling into the bus every
time I see them.

There they are.

Max!

Yo!

See you in the AK, boys.

Goddamn. I feel like we had a huge lead,
and now they're just right there on us.

It's a real race, and...

It's going to come down to the wire.

Hi, Matthew.

Third turn.

Are you kidding me?

Not an ideal time to stop and tie your
shoe.

Get better shoelaces.

Right there.

With their latest leapfrog of Max and
Christian, the Alaska boys are first to

the pack raft and a three -mile road to
the final step of the race.

It's important to absolutely blast out
everything here from this point on. I

mean, paddle, the run.

Max and Christian are right there, right
behind us.

I don't want them to take first place
from us.

Look at that.

You know, we're behind the 8K boys, and
we had a lead.

So that's kind of tough, especially for
how much work you put in.

You know, there's a couple navigation
errors.

I'm going to hop in. Yes, sir. But we're
not going to give up.

We just got to keep pushing.

I see our pack raft.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

An exhausted Kaysen and Bella arrive at
the pack raft, putting all three teams

within just a mile of each other.

Our strategy is just to push through and
try and not lose ground.

They're not that far ahead of us. All it
takes, one small mistake, and we'll be

right there, happily taking advantage.

Okay, we got this.

Just a few miles stands between one of
the three teams and $500 ,000.

It comes down to this, a three -mile
paddle, followed by a five -mile sprint

across an icy open glacier.

But as the teams near the end of their
rowing, the river gets much stronger.

Fueled by the previous night's rain, the
current has become violent and

dangerous.

Oh, yeah, this current looks strong.

Oh shit.

Hey, paddle harder. This is so fast
moving.

Are you okay?

Don't lift up the back.

Okay, well... I don't know. I don't have
money.

I can't stand it.

Oh yeah, this current looks strong.

Oh shit.

Hey, paddle hard. This is so fast
moving.

Are you okay?

Jason, I don't know. I don't have
footage.

I can't stand.

Bella, Bella, Bella.

Oh, my God.

Bella, I need you to hold the handle.

There's so much water.

You can stand.

I need you with me so it doesn't flip.

You got it?

That, to me, was the most life
-threatening situation I've been in this

competition.

Kaysen was the only thing keeping me
from being swept downriver.

I see my sister almost drowning, and
it's just, it's almost like

blacked out for me. I just, it's not
about the competition anymore. It's

staying alive.

From the start of this race, we wanted
to stay injury -free, but this wasn't

about injuries. This was truly life or
death, and that was the moment I was

like, okay, we need to survive this.

Let's finish this course.

Physically, mentally, trying so hard to
stay positive the whole time and keep a

smile on because I know that's what my
mom would do.

Although shaken, Bella and Kacen tap
into their rooted willpower and decide

press on. We got this, Bella.

That's what we do. We don't quit, and we
make it to the end crate.

I got the raft.

Meanwhile, having successfully crossed
the river, Oliver and Wilson hold a slim

lead.

Holy cow.

It's harder than I thought it would be.

They now face a five -mile run over
rough, frozen tundra to the final end

and the only pair of medallions. Get
out. This is it. We found it. That's if

they can hold off their rivals Max and
Christian one final time.

Right there.

Nice work, nice work.

Are you going to do this?

Let's do this. There's no time to rest.

There's Max and Christian hauling ass.

Faster than it were before, so it's
just, there's no room for mistakes.

small gaps.

There's no second place here.

My feet are freezing. My feet are froze.

But now we're just home stretch from
here.

It's still not over.

We're not stopping.

You know, we're not tapping out. We're
going to the end of this thing.

We're heading north.

Yep. It'd be amazing if these guys are
stuck in a bushfire right now.

I'm really tired.

We need to walk for a while.

How long?

Like a minute.

I don't want to stop. We're so close.
We're so close to all of this being

it.

Crash in, man. Yeah, buddy.

We got more, man. We got more.

This is literally the climax of the
whole story. This is what we've been

about for the past five weeks.

This is for all of it.

There's so many things that winning half
a million would help in my life. I want

to be able to buy a place, get married
to my sweetheart, my fiance, Chelsea,

to continually building generational
wealth.

I want to do something for my parents,
something big.

find ways that I can pay back the debt
that they have done for me.

If we won $500 ,000, I would want to put
some back into Nome because, you know,

it wasn't just my parents to raise me.
It was my next -door neighbors, my

aunties and uncles.

And if we can succeed, then I think we
should try and give back to the people

that helped us become who we are.

We're almost there.

Yeah, we're getting close.

I can see the glacier.

Oh, yeah.

You see anybody?

No. I just want to finish so bad.

There it is, man.

When we started running, I was just
getting chills, and I was just so happy

because I knew we were going to win
this.

Everything we did up to this point has
come together.

Ready?

Yes!

Finally.

Yes, dude.

Yes. We did it.

Everything we've done is worth it.

Let's go!

Yeah! I take this time to reflect.

about what we just went through.

We just spent like two months straight
out together.

He's like the most important person in
my life.

I think without Wilson, life would be
like, not meaningless, but close to it,

you know?

So to be able to do something like this
with a person like Wilson is pretty

cool.

Bravo, gentlemen!

I see two men that are a whole lot
richer.

Take the packs off.

Take the packs off. Take the packs off.
Good job.

From the beginning, Max and I, we eyed
these boys up. We wouldn't have chose

other people we could have lost to. We
want someone that pushes us to go even

further, and these boys did.

And they showed a lot of character.

They were humble. They were strong. The
better team won.

Straight up. And we're proud of those
boys.

That's great.

There it is. It's the moment you've been
dreaming of. These experiences are

thicker than blood.

We were the only team left in the finals
that weren't blood, which is pretty

powerful. Bon appetit. Cheers.

We've been out here for so many weeks.
The only thing we live is this race and

survival out here, and we're grateful
for how far we've come as friends. I'm

only child, but Max is an older brother
to me.

That's one of the greatest things I got
from this.

Bro. I love you, bro.

We did it! We did it!

This was a really grueling, you know,
mentally, emotionally, physically, a

grueling race flag. That's the grade.

I would not have done this with any
other human being.

Are we the first team here?

None of the other teams saw us coming.
You know, two Brooklynites with not a

of survival experience, none to be
exact.

But that just goes to show, you know,
it's not worth underestimating anyone.

And honestly, we earned it. And we
worked our asses off to get here.

You guys did it.

Seriously. Oh, congratulations. You're a
bulldog. You're a

bulldog. I just have the utmost respect
for Alaska, the terrain, the competitors

in this competition. I cannot emphasize
enough how hard this entire challenge

was. Alaska is formidable and
incredible, so nothing but respect.

Peace out, Alaska!

We love you, Alaska!

When's the next race?

Oh, my gosh.
