Russ Cook has crossed 16 countries in a 16,000 kilometre journey
Endurance running legend 'Hardest Geezer' aka Russ Cook has completed a historic run across the entire length of Africa, enduring 352 days of extreme challenges.
Russ set off at around 10am on Sunday from a petrol garage in Ghezala, a town in north-west Tunisia, and has now crossed the finish line located in Ras Angela, the country’s most northerly point. "It was good, I'm a bit tired," he told Sky News after taking a dip in the ocean at the of the final leg. For the final day of his challenge, Mr Cook invited his supporters to take on the last marathon with him, with many flying out to Tunisia to run alongside him. “How can you be tired when there’s this many people running with you?,” he said. “There’s so much energy.”
Last Tuesday, Russ said the challenge had been “the toughest in my life but an immense honour”. He wrote: “We have met incredible people in every single country we’ve been to that have welcomed us with love and kindness. The human spirit is a beautiful thing. Very grateful for these experiences and would definitely encourage anyone out there to go get after that adventure, whatever it looks like for you.
