"British Ultrarunner Achieves Historic Feat: Running the Entire Length of Africa"
After 352 days and 10,000 miles, UK runner Russ Cook completed his goal of running the length of Africa, reaching the continent's northernmost point in Tunisia. Despite facing challenges such as theft, injury, and visa problems, Cook's journey raised over 690,000 pounds for charities supporting homeless youth and displaced people. Cook, who used running to cope with mental health struggles, expressed gratitude for the support and planned to celebrate with a party on the beach.
