“Hardest Geezer” Russ Cook, who ran the length of Africa last year, is excited to be “back on the road” as he embarks on his latest running challenge across New Zealand.
The charity fundraiser, from West Sussex, is taking on his first major expedition since Africa, running the 3,000km (1,864 miles) Te Araroa, a mountainous trail which spans the length of New Zealand.
