Despite being in lockdown and saying he worries about the nation's waistline, Prince William is still keeping his body fit. The Duke of Cambridge takes part in the virtual marathon for Tusk Trust, but he is thankful he doesn't have to do it under Africa's "heat and altitude."
Prince William made a video to support a virtual marathon that should have taken place in Lewa, Kenya. But to continue supporting the conservation charity, its supporters are running, walking, or riding on roads, parks, and fields somewhere else. They are trying to reach a distance of three miles to 26 miles to complete the course.
In the clip, People noted that Kate Middleton's husband looked a little tanned while wearing a white Abercrombie and Fitch polo shirt. While looking casual, he told the cause's supporters that he was about to run himself, taking part in the virtual challenge.
Like other advocates, he also felt sad that he couldn't do it in Lewa while enjoying its beautiful surroundings. However, he was quite relieved that he didn't have to do in the country's "altitude and heat."

Prince William then cleared that the marathon is not a race, and there's no stopwatch. It is just their way to show Africa's conservation and community that they're "all in this together." The Duke of Cambridge has been the patron of Tusk Trust for 15 years, starting in 2005.
Express added that the future king also thanked the "two world-record holders" for continuously showing their support to the rangers in Lewa. He took advantage of the moment to show his deepest gratitude to the Kenyan marathon world-record holders Eliud Kipchoge and Geoffrey Kamworor.
The two held the records for the half-distance marathon. They didn't only show their support for the cause but also trained the Lewa's rangers. They also joined the virtual run to participate in the challenge.
Meanwhile, if Prince William showed his support to Tusk Trust from his home in Norfolk, the rangers, armed guards, and staff did the challenge on the original Lewa Marathon track. In a statement posted on its website, the Head of Anti-Poaching Edward Ndiritu said that although they were not running together, they only had one goal in mind wherever others were.
Social media users also praised Prince William for his efforts to support the wildlife continuously. One fan said that he was the perfect example of what a future king should be and what a working prince should do. They also assured that Princess Diana would have been proud of her firstborn.
