Extreme marathon runner Russ Cook completed his run across the entire length of Africa in Tunisia on April 7 after travelling through 16 countries, with the 352-day odyssey including being robbed at gunpoint and suffering food poisoning.

Cook started his adventure last April at Africa's most southerly point, the South African village of L'Agulhas, and proceeded up the continent's west coast, running a total of over 16,000km.
