🚀 Epic adventure alert! Britain's own Russ Cook, aka the 'Hardest Geezer', just became the first person ever to run the entire length of Africa! 🌍🏃♂️
After 352 days of relentless running, dodging dangers, and embracing adventures, Cook finished his 16,000 km journey in Tunisia on Sunday. Starting from the southern tip of Africa at L'Agulhas, South Africa, he sprinted up the west coast, crossing 16 countries along the way! 🗺️
'The first person ever to run the entire length of Africa. Mission complete,' Cook triumphantly posted on social media platform X. 🎉
But it wasn't all smooth sailing! From being robbed at gunpoint to battling food poisoning, Russ proved that nothing could stop him. 💪 His route took him through Namibia, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Senegal, Mauritania, Algeria, and finally to Tunisia's Ras Angela. 📍
And get this—the 27-year-old legend also raised over half a million pounds for charity during his journey! ❤️💰
Talk about inspiration! Who's up for their own adventure? ✨
