Russ Cook aka Hardest Geezer has just completed one of the most insane feats in human history - Running the entire length of Africa, from its most southernly point to the most northern tip! Russ was incredibly generous to allow Happy Hour to be the first place to share his incredible and unfathomable story. In this clip he shares how he got the mission up and running, how sponsors massively helped along the way, how he felt on the final day of the project, what it was like to see the Mediterranean Sea and coastline - a sight he'd been running towards and waiting to see for a year! And of course we asked him how it actually felt to cross the finish line to become the first person to run across Africa! We also spoke to camera man Stan, who shared his best and worst parts of the mission, which included the time he had to cross one of the most pirate infested waters, with the project van strapped to a dodgy wooden boat!
We're absolutely besotted by Russ as a human, and an athlete, and we'll forever be honoured to have been there to witness the moment this legend achieved what some said was impossible. From all of us here at Happy Hour, we'd like to say the biggest Congratulations to Russ and his team!
