After setting off from South Africa just under a year ago, Russ Cook finally reached the Tunisian coast on Sunday to bring his epic odyssey to an end.
The endurance athlete, dubbed the ‘Hardest Geezer,’ has battled through injury and illness.
He has faced logistical nightmares and overcome getting lost in the jungle to complete his mission of running the entire length of Africa, a feat which has seen him run over 10,000 miles.
The UK runner was joined by dozens of fans for the final leg of his mission on Sunday, many of whom had flown in from all around the world to be part of the celebrations.
Speaking to CNN Sport at the very start of his mission, Cook said he wasn’t daunted by what lay before him and PROMISED TO TACKLE EACH DAY AS IT CAME!
