British runner Russ Cook completed a 10,100-mile run through Africa, overcoming armed robberies and illnesses, and raising almost $700,000 for charity before facing controversy over his claim of being the first to complete this feat.
The World Runners Association disagreed with Cook's assertion, recognizing Danish runner Jesper Kenn Olsen as the first to run the full length of Africa, highlighting differences in the route and the approach to the challenge.
