The challenge comes a few months after Mr Cook ran the entire length of Africa, which took him just under a year to complete.

Charity fundraiser Russ Cook, nicknamed the 'Hardest Geezer', has taken on another running challenge - this time to Germany to support England's Euro 2024 squad. The 27-year-old set-off from Wembley Stadium in London on Tuesday in a bid to reach the city of Gelsenkirchen in western Germany by Sunday - in time to see the England men's football team in their opening fixture against Serbia.

During the run - equivalent to 376 marathons - he raised more than £600,000 for two charities. To reach Germany by the end of the week, Mr Cook is aiming to run between 60-80km each day and will be inviting those who spot him along the way to join in. He said: 'Maybe we'll get a few running along, joining for the ones and twos in between the games. 'It will be wicked, I'm looking forward to getting out there.
