Cheetah Fit Challenge 2024

Join the Global Movement to #SaveTheCheetah!

Join us for the 4rd Annual Cheetah Fit Challenge, September 21 to October 6, 2024.  This self-directed fitness event has now expanded to other CCF Affiliates including France, Germany, the UK and the USA in addition to Canada.

Pick a physical activity, set your fitness and financial goals, and help us raise awareness and funds to combat the illegal pet trade in the Horn of Africa and human-wildlife conflict. 

Register as an individual or create a team and invite friends, family and colleagues! Make sure your "participant page" created after registration tells the story of your fitness goal, and why helping the cheetah is important to you.  

If you are looking for a fitness plan or tracking your movements, you can benefit from free fitness apps like Nike Training Club, Strava, Fiton Workouts & Fitness Plans, etc. and share results on social media #CheetahFit @CCFCheetah #SaveTheCheetah. 

All donations will be used for the full care of rescued cheetahs under CCF care in Namibia and Somaliland.  

Your fundraising of $400 and over will be recognized on a display sign – three levels: Bronze ($400+), Silver ($800+) and Gold ($1,300+) – at one of our centres and in our newsletter post event.

More about the threats of the cheetah survival

Human-Wildlife Conflict (HWC) has become a pressing issue in various regions across the globe, leading to devastating consequences for both wildlife and local communities. Besides the killing of animals that are perceived to be threatening livelihoods, another of the detrimental outcomes of HWC is its contribution to the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT). In addition, the demand for pet cheetah has put the cheetah population in the Horn of Africa as critically endangered according to IUCN red list.
