That last running shot transitioning to Google Maps zooming out was amazing lmfao, really puts it in perspective, just made me laugh at how big of a challenge this really is. When you think about commonly known feats of endurance like climbing Mount Everest etc., this absolutely dwarfs it, to the point where it is actually hilarious that you guys even have the audacity to attempt it. I wish you all the best guys, you will smash it!

[@RektDem]

exactly what I wanted to say summed up in a great comment take my like and subscribe

[@cameramanstan]

Everyone here loves this comment

[@edhiggs1711]

was about to type the same thing. Last 2 seconds really shows the unthinkable scale. Audacious is the word. Gonna take one hard geezer to conquer this, I think we've found him.

[@ponr]

@@RektDem haha thank you!

[@ponr]

@@cameramanstan haha that's wicked mate, I'm glad to hear. Looking forward to seeing the progress, and remember, when things get tough, you can always laugh at the fact that what you're doing is just brilliantly absurd 😂

[@GeoWizard]

What a video. What a mission. What a legend. What are we even witnessing here.. Head down and keep running you gorgeous nutcase.

[@cameramanstan]

Look forward to seeing you out there Tom 👀

[@GeoWizard]

@@cameramanstan I'm very tempted to kick a football across Togo in a day. Just a bit scared.

[@michelcornelis3688]

Trying to cross Africa in a straight line?

[@alexandernico8930]

@@GeoWizard Wouldn’t the Gambia be a little bit better than kicking the ball through Togo? There are 2 bridges across the Gambie river so it is possible and faster?

[@TGUno3]

@@GeoWizard I would say this and you walking across wales is a pretty equal challenge

[@Tuuralihn]

352 days later. He's finishing today. It's been an honor to watch, lads

[@claudiainthewoods]

like if you are here starting at the beginning because Kara and Nate introduced you to this awesomeness!

[@leanneadams2549]

Yup. It’s exactly why. Lol. I bet we won’t be the only ones !

[@GadnerT.Matlala]

I am based in South Africa but I have never heard of this project, thanks to Kara and Nate...

[@madhurimamukherjee4823]

same here

[@quaidrasmussen4151]

Going back and watching this while he is currently crossing Algeria is crazy

[@matthewfrahm9850]

How is watching an older video crazy?

[@peterthomas9440]

11 months later and he's done it. Well done Russ and all the team involved in helping Russ make history.

[@christiaramos141]

Came from Kara and Nate and am so glad threy pointed us to you. Incredible goal. Incredible man. ❤

[@LoganSuzuki-hy6wu]

Yes!! Go Kara and Nate! 🎉 Russ is a legend!

[@GoWithDannyMo]

Wow, watching this 5 months on and seeing how much has happened is an entirely different perspective. Just seeing how different you guys look with fresh trims is mental

[@bdotrINDY]

That final shot...went straight onto the patreon to kick in a few quid. Go well boys!

[@leon_pp]

April 7th 2024. Geezer only gone and done it. Mad LEGEND 🔥🔥

[@lewismundy8230]

I still dont understand how this hasnt got more of a following. If/when you lads pull this off its going to be nothing short of legendary.

[@markgreenaway8666]

At some point it will explode I am sure of it

[@xanderkhan73]

I reckon this'll take off once the series gets going a little, just like ed March's C90adventures -small channel to start with, but it's a youtube staple nowadays!

[@markgreenaway8666]

15K subs in the last 10 days!

[@suzannebradbury]

What the actual Jeff? WOW SUBBED

[@Lahfo]

@@markgreenaway8666 you still watching?

[@Aramoonstaz]

Well done Russ and crew!!!! I saw the ending on Kara and Nate's channel and I am starting your series now!!! :D What an amazing accomplishment!

[@JC-qv8yo]

When I get up each morning for a run (although I don't want to), I just think about what you are doing and it spurs me on. Good luck and can't wait to get stuck into this series.

[@jpranevich]

Watching this now after you are already in Nigeria, it's shocking how... er... clean everyone looks. The last couple of months have clearly taken a toll on everyone and seeing you all in this video still not quite realizing the challenges ahead is kind of amazing. Keep at it!

[@joannhempen8210]

To Watch Russ's video of him crossing the finish line and then watch the very start of the project really puts into perspective all involved in this amazing journey!! I'm here from Kara and Nates Channel!!! Congratulations Russ!! What a tremendous honor to binge watch your journey! An Epic Feat!

[@fezzverbal]

Wow that final zoom out shot. What an incredible undertaking. All the best, smash it lad!

[@incarnate3276]

Goosebumps. I don’t think I have ever been even remotely as impressed by anything.

[@redtankgirl5]

Just watched the competition of this run on someone’s channel and now I have to watch the journey in it’s entirety. What an amazing way to raise money for charity. So glad I didn’t miss out. Thank you.

[@caspianc16]

You guys are bloody mental. Me and my mates have been looking through the route discussing each country you're planning on running through and it's bonkers - I love it. Can't wait to follow the journey and watch history in the making!!

[@changethementality]

Watching where you started after knowing how far you've come.. Amazing! Keep at it man! Ones and twos!

[@dmbrwr]

You put it best- What you're doing is actually inconceivable.55k every day until 2024 is extraordinary! Wishing you the best of luck. One brick at a time

[@sophieyates4812]

Felt well emotional watching this, incredible that I’m watching this and Russ is on day 7 of running now, I am so so so behind you all! amazing amazing all of you xxxx

[@utubepurposes]

watching this after Russ has reached the northernmost point of Africa. incredibly emotional even for me. can't imagine what Russ and the crew are feeling right now

[@madhurimamukherjee4823]

came to know about this channel after kara and nate posted their video. Gonna start watching the entire running series from today❤

[@torackplays]

anyone else come back to start the whole series again because they can’t believe it’s over 🥲

[@harmanfamilyadventures473]

Amazing video. Watching it with my boys, aged 11 and 9 who love running. You are going to be an inspiration to them. We will follow your whole journey.

[@BananaInEar009]

Been here before this gets worldwide attention cuz this madlad is going to absolutely smash it!

[@AllyLawsLife]

yesss laddddd

[@Daniel-Davies-Gonstead-Student]

Aye Ally, good to see you here. Feel free to promote this lad!

[@LucaSantangeloUK]

Mental. Been a long time coming!! Let’s get itttt

[@timorossenaar5735]

Started running again this week because of you starting running through Africa. Thanks for the inspiration and I wish you all the best mate

[@kjartansandtveit5472]

followd you since day 12, but saved the videos to binge at the end. now that this is the last day, this is going to be ong good treat. I take my hat of to you, proper legend!

[@joshleader8017]

Can’t wait to see the progress on all socials by the end of this. The attraction will come soon and hopefully some sponsors😂 don’t want to know the amount of sun cream your going through

[@jackmartin8124]

Absolute inspiration, brother. We live one life, and you're living an extraordinary one. Here with you every step. Short back and stomping!!!

[@Opticalwander]

I don’t think the worlds even ready for this achievement! Common lads!!

[@penno_9]

Incredible mate, looking forward to following this journey over the weeks and months. All power to you and the team

[@ThisIsAdo]

6 months in and with a big break between uploads, I just had to come back to where it all began. Harry Potter long before he hit rock bottom, Russ with a mindset as fresh as his fade and Harry's cheeky little smile that blessed many an episode until his never-ending holiday. What a journey it has been, and there is so far still to go. Bang bang!

[@Agman.P]

How has this guy got less than 15k subscribers? This dude insanely elite. Fucking hats off mate and best of luck in your journey. Just watched your IG story and the fact you were in big cat territory today is nuts

[@tthacker93]

Stumbled across your journey on twitter, can’t wait to watch things how things go. Best of luck to all of you, it’s going to be unreal.

[@kimchi_b]

Absolutely incredible, I cannot wait to follow this and for this to go viral, it's a herculean effort, all the very best to you

[@EatmyStardust]

Wow. Just came here from his ceo interview. Looking forward to watching it all now.

[@zac_wilson_]

Russ, up until a couple of months ago the furthest i'd ran was 5k. This series inspired me to run my first ever 1/2 marathon, and you also inspired me to document it on my channel (I even shout you out at 12:30 and at the end too). Stan, I also admire the work that you do so much. At 10.5 miles I imagined myself being chased by a wild Guus, and that spurred me on. #DidItForNige #IfYouKnowYouKnow

[@neecybeach]

So excited to start watching this journey! Also sorry I missed it real time but thankful Kara & Nate turned me on to this amazing journey! It’s just incredible!

[@olliebiddle2278]

Goosebumps watching that. Stan smashing the edit.

[@harrykelly4665]

The shot at 8:52 really should’ve made the final edit. Really puts it into perspective, incredible

[@Daniel-Davies-Gonstead-Student]

I'm literally speechless. This is so damn... Impressive, ballsey, inspirational, sick, cool... It's just fucking awesome! Can't wait till a big sponsor gets behind! That said, now that I think about it, along the same lines of thinking as with why you took the signage off the van, maybe it's a blessing in disguise that this hasn't just completely blown up... Could get too much "attention"... Pros and cons. Whatever happens, we're rootin for ya Russ! Get after it!

[@alastairwjones]

I watched all these as soon as they dropped. And I’m now going to watch again knowing you absolutely smashed it. Somehow it’s more emotional second time round. Your videos have become an essential part of every week over the last year - know I’m going to suffer from cold turkey without your updates!! 🤣

[@snakeystaptour9729]

Class first video, you’ve got this Russ and good to see the support team are a great bunch!

[@taiwaneil]

Well done also to the person behind the scenes taking all the raw recordings and editing them into the videos for KZbin.

[@JasonAllan]

This is insanity. Going to be following this journey supporting as much as I can from home 💙

[@SamWade]

Unreal numbers so far Russ. LET'S GET IT 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MCFCity]

You're bonkers, I love it. You deserve way more recognition mate

[@lovepeacejoyhappiness]

Kara and nate sent me 😁 glad you lived! Can't wait to watch the whole journey.

[@Meg-Inspires]

Amazing editing Wonderful production Wonderful achievement ❤

[@Adam-ty6ry]

What a legend! The crew are a bunch of G's. Just the start cmon!

[@TJ96TH]

Been keeping up with it every day on Twitter! He’s absolutely smashing it! Mindset warrior! Good luck brother keep smashing it 👊🏼💯🏃‍♂️

[@cupcakesonrainydays]

Good luck. I'm cheering for you. Worcester, South Africa ❤

[@MiniBlob75]

Now this EPIC, good luck Russ! I will be following closely, cheers from a runner in Sweden

[@jonnyashley6013]

Looking forward to seeing how you get on mate. I really hope this channel grows!!!

[@emilycraddock3557]

Followed months ago because of Kara and Nate, finally watching.

[@alexmcghee4696]

Get it brother! This is inspiring me to get out running myself, keep it up Geez!

[@superplesu]

I'm giggling with excitement at this point. Even though you've completed the challenge, I feel privileged to be able to have a look into the whole journey. Mad love!

[@jonnyjonnyjonnyjonny]

Saw that you finished recently, so here I am going through vids from the start. 🤩 What an effort Russ & team. Well done. X

[@GabeHales]

LFGO!!!! all the luck in the world off to you, will be thinking about your runs on my own over the next year +

[@nicklausmusic]

Came across this on twitter before and how it's still so under the radar is mad. Get fucking right after it lad god speed!

[@carnifexzer0]

So annoyed that the media only started covering this once it had finished, I would've loved to ahve followed along and supported as it was happening - but i'm looking forward to watching the full journey now. Amazing work

[@rockericdude918]

massive inspiration, legend and goat, the hardest geezer

[@TerrenceCallahan]

Hell yeah, looking forward to the journey! Stay safe out there guys. Much love from the USA

[@gregoriojanes2687]

God bless your amazing run through Africa Russel!! I read the CNN article today and it was so inspiring! You CAN DO IT, with God's help and your support team!! I'm going to follow you all the way and I'll be praying for you!! Greg here in Buenos Aires!!

[@alexandermarshall3985]

Starting from the beginning having watched a few later ones already. This man needs more subs and views

[@Svettjan]

Good luck! Subtitles would be great for these videos.

[@snookergaming6295]

Im rooting for the editors and crew you are legends.

[@camakaze1330]

Insanely motivating watching this, good luck lad 👍🏻

[@tubebackr]

This is such an amazing and insane project. Great video, can't wait for all the videos to come. Best of luck!

[@changethementality]

I had to come back and watch how it started. You've done it mate! You've run the entire length of Africa and this time it ain't just a model of Africa, you've actually done it!
