Meet the Man Who Ran ENTIRE Length Of Africa ???? #ad

Russ Cook AKA @hardestgeezer made headline news across the globe. Why? Because he’s just completed the equivalent of 385 marathons in 352 days, running across the entire length of Africa. On his epic journey, Russ took on some of the toughest environmental conditions, including the world’s largest hot desert, the Sahara. But it wasn’t just extreme weather making this such a treacherous mission, Russ also came face to face with robbing, kidnapping, life threatening illness and extreme injuries.

Unsurprisingly, this mission was not his first rodeo. Russ has been taking on extreme challenges for years—running from Asia to the UK, pulling a car the length of a marathon and even burying himself alive for a week. It’s no wonder most people know him better by his nickname, Hardest Geezer.

Back in his hometown, Russ reflects on his colossal mission, revealing a part of his story that has never been spoken on camera before…
