the problem with the gendarme here is an issue of chain of command, they have authority on the roads by default, but they can be overruled by some higher up commands without the gendarme being aware of it so it leads to confusion, but most will attempt to contact a higher authority to confirm the orders, some would just not care and do they job and leave.

After many failed attempts to start running over the years, this project has inspired me to actually start. I'm the same age as Russ, he can run 60k+ every day for a full year, so I have no excuses to not run 5k once or twice/week. I'm obese, but commitment to running is also an incentive for me to lose the extra fat I'm carrying. Every kilo lost means running gets easier, and I can run farther/faster than last time. I ran my first parkrun this morning in 35 mins, I'm overjoyed to be honest. This is one of the all-time great feats of physical endurance. Russ, you're insane, this achievement is insane. Your team is nearly as insane as you, and you all have my respect and admiration!

In all seriousness this amazing project is going to have another element to it. When Russ and the Boys finish they are going to experience a massive mental low period weeks after the mission is over. When the routine they have been in for a huge amount of time is gone and replaced with "normal life". Once the podcasts, TV interviews, and all of the celeb related stuff has moved on thats when they will need our support the most. Don't stop supporting this amazing man and his crew.

The problem with the gendarmerie is in ALGERIA there is 4 military regions and since you entered from MAURITANIA the 3rd region of the west didn't hand over the mission of your escort to the 4th region that's why you didn't have escort then when you reached the 2nd region of the east no one was aware from where you come not from the east border neither from the 4th region or the 1st region of the north, then they have to organize their own escort, this is the first time a groupe of foreigners that entered from the new border crossing with MAURITANIA wich opened in feburary 2024

The big question is WHY SHOULD THEY CARE? It shouldn't be illegal for tourists to travel across the country without being babysat by the Gendarmerie. Tourists are not babies. We don't need babysitters. Also, you're wrong. A couple of Swiss tourists entered at the new border crossing at Tindouf about a week before Russ. And also, there were other tourists who entered at the OLD border crossing at Tindouf earlier. The one that opened in 2018.

I feel like the mental aspect and the physical aspect need to be graded differently, and this is all so alien to me I can't begin to make a case for which is more outstanding.

Started watching this when you were around Namibia and went back caught up and have watched religiously since. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch and I’ll be sure to have a strawberry daiquiri tomorrow to celebrate! I’m amazed at how there isn’t more of a following to this as it has been one of the best things I have ever watched on KZfaq! Massive congrats to the whole team it’s been a fantastic watch!

Genuinely getting emotional here... I've been following this journey ever since the beginning and it's hard to believe it's finally coming to an end. Good luck to your future journeys that await.

Thank you so much for this series. It's been a blast. This past year has been a personal low point going through a divorce. All of you guys' perseverance gave me hope that one can get through the hardest challenges in life. And of course I also started running like so many here. Big shout out to Jamie, Stan and Guus for the incredible editing and facilitating the success of the adventure. You guys are amazing and have my biggest respect!

Best series on KZfaq. Please keep the documentary going. Let’s see the recovery and the injuries :)

This is by far the greatest video series ever put on KZfaq. Its absolutely mind boggling to me why there aren't 10m people watching every episode - but I think they'll trickle in one day as Russ becomes a bit of a celeb. Hopefully the core team can stay together for another massive sdventure sometime... South America perhaps? Cheeky Chile to Alaska 👀

I have watched every single video since the beginning of Russ’ journey. Thank you to his team for bringing us a slice of the action, which has been so so challenging along the way for you all. I have loved tuning in to watch every episode, it’s been so inspiring and I just cannot wait to see what you all get up to after a nearly a whole year of this! Huge congratulations to Russ and the team for the incredible achievement 🙌🫶❤️

Big up to the guys with all you went through. I'm from Algeria, and I really feel disgusted with the gendarmerie treatment and lack of understanding, It happens to regular people even, the issue is that some of those guys just want to act tough, but luckily, it's just a small minority. Best of luck for the last push, God speed 🏃🏻💪🏽

You are a true Leg End Russ, survived Africa, pushed through the toughest of challenges, by gosh there has been some tough ones, as someone who is older by a good 11-12 years, you make me look at myself, to push forward, to never give up and now you are so so close to the end point. Breathe it in, you break records tomorrow in Tunisia and its been amazing to watch, watching your series. To your team, who has shown, the wonderous cultures of Africa and the generosity of the people there. What a rollercoaster, heres to you, the Hardest Geezer!

I truly believe there are less than 0.1% of all humans that have ever existed that could do something like this. I told my mate about Russ and he wasn't stunned or in disbelief, he thought anyone could do it, so i challenged him to run 5k a day with me for a month, he made it 9 days before his knee packed in and he had to stop, i just looked at him and said, now imagine doing that 5k FIFTEEN times, back to back, EVERYDAY for almost a year.

These episodes have been a highlight for many months now. I wish you guys all the best in the future.
