Mr Cook’s extreme challenge began at South Africa’s most southerly point on 22 April 2023, and finished more than 10,190 miles (16,400km) north in Tunisia.

He had originally planned to complete the equivalent of 360 marathons in 240 days but extended the challenge due to complications.

The ultrarunner, who went through 30 pairs of trainers throughout the challenge, is raising money for The Running Charity and Sandblast.

The Running Charity aims to harness the power of running to support young people experiencing homelessness or complex needs, while Sandblast runs educational programmes in refugee camps in Algeria.

On Sunday, Mr Cook also took part in the London Marathon where he helped to pace younger participants.

He will also be taking part in the Sahara Marathon next year.
