The Hardest Geezer. The most incredible achievement. 💪
Russ Cook has finally finished his epic challenge, running the length of Africa - the equivalent of 385 marathons - in 352 days.
Simply sensational. 🏃♂️

Decent shift out there today. Longest run of the mission by some distance. Longer days are yet to come. Intent on pushing physical limits further than anything I would've previously considered possible of myself during this home stretch. Let's see what happens
I’m currently on Day 84 of becoming the first person ever to run the entire length of Africa.
Made it through deserts, mountains, jungle. Pissed blood. Food poisoning. Recently got robbed at gunpoint. Still got over 11,000km & 13 countries to go.
This is my progress on the map.
Your support would be a game changer🫡
#ProjectAfrica Day 64: 32km
Nothing like a gun being pointed at your face to let you know you’re alive. Lively one today.
Ferocious 1’s & 2’s all morning. Met the boys for a lunch break. Chatting our usual dribble in the van like any other day when a couple lads popped open the side door and demanded everything we have.
Desperate blokes with guns pointed. Infamously bad situation to find yourself on the end of. Proper spot of bother. Damage limitation.
None of us got killed or injured. We didn’t let them march us out the van. But we did lose a lot of our gear. Couple cameras, 2 iphones, all of our cash, passports + few other bits.
Rough gig. But we live to tell the tale. Could’ve been a lot worse. Local police doing as much as they can to help🇦🇴
The relentless nature of this mission is quite something. Problems from every angle. No respite. Till the bitter end🫡
