A British man on a quest to run the length of Africa is set to complete his mammoth challenge later Sunday in Tunisia.
Russ Cook’s epic endeavour has seen him live up to his “hardest geezer (man)” nickname with health problems, visa issues and even an armed robbery to contend with on his over 16,000 kilometre (9,900 mile) journey.
The 27-year-old set off from South Africa’s most southerly point on April 22 last year.
By the time he crosses the finish line in northern Tunisia he will have taken more than 19 million steps in 16 countries.
