WHAT TO EXPECT FROM HA.
We're all in on making the world's best adventure travel company.
Hardest Adventures is a UK-based adventure, endurance, and media company co-founded by Russ Cook - better known as Hardest Geezer, the first human to run the length of Africa.
Born from a love of grit, personal growth, and legendary storytelling, Hardest Adventures exists to inspire people everywhere to make the most of life and discover 'moments that matter'. We operate both group adventure/running experiences, alongside unique media channels that blend raw endurance, powerful storytelling, and world-class production to capture what happens when ordinary people live life to the fullest.
Whether you be taking on a first 5k run, watching our shows, or climbing to the roof of Africa, our mission is simple, to reconnect humanity and ignite purpose in the world through the power of movement and epic storytelling, showcasing real moments of triumph, and creating adventure opportunities that unlock true potential to show people what it really means to live life to the fullest.
Our 5 Core Principles
Never Settle
Indifference is the enemy of success. We will always strive for 10x growth and to be the best at what we do.
Adopt an Elite Mentality
We operate like a professional sports team — never accepting mediocrity. From recruitment to service quality, the bar is high and will not be lowered.
Execute and Deliver at Pace
Speed is a superpower. Work at pace, be proactive rather than reactive, take full ownership, and avoid excuses and bureaucracy.
Strategic Excellence
We use data and logic to drive decisions that address root cause over quick patches — challenging ideas, aiming 1% better every day and defining success so we can lock on.
Greatness is a Collective Effort
Leave ego at the door — we win together by being the best team and supporting one another. Being the best means winning across every touchpoint with our customers: solving their problems before they realise, and delivering excellence beyond their expectations.
