Russ Cook, known as the Hardest Geezer, is the first person to run the full length of Africa, covering 16,250 kilometers.

Cook's journey spanned 352 days and included challenges such as injuries, food poisoning, extreme weather, kidnapping, and robbery.

Reunited with his girlfriend Emily Bell at the finish line after 14 months, Cook has raised over £700,000 for Project Africa.

He accomplished his mission with the intention of creating a legacy for his future children and plans to cut his iconic red beard and ponytail.

The World Runners Association shows interest in Cook's feat, and Guinness World Records awaits evidence for the 'fastest crossing of Africa on foot (male)' record.
