π Guy runs Cape Town to Cairo in record time πββοΈ
A 57-year-old man, Keith Boyd, set a new record by running 6,706 miles from Cape Town to Cairo in 301 days in 2024. The journey took him through nine countries, though it became dangerous in Ethiopia where gunmen attempted to kidnap him. He ultimately beat the previous record by 17 days, completing the tough trek by May 22, 2024. Boyd faced intense risks, including being held captive, but he continued to raise money for his non-profit, Rainbow Leaders. After initial challenges, he managed to finish the entire route safely despite setbacks.
