A man who ran the length of Africa has completed his latest challenge – running the London Marathon.
After complications with visas, health scares, geopolitical issues and an armed robbery, Russell Cook, nicknamed “Hardest Geezer”, crossed the finish line of his Africa challenge in Tunisia on 7 April after 352 days.
The 27-year-old, from Worthing, West Sussex, has raised more than £960,000 ($1.18m) for charity.
Two weeks after finishing the mammoth challenge, Mr Cook helped to pace younger participants at the London Marathon.
