This is your chance to make a significant impact in the lives of rescued cheetahs, and to contribute to the fight against Human-Wildlife Conflict and the Illegal Wildlife Trade (e.g. Horn of Africa).
This is a self-directed fitness event that allows you to:
- Choose Your Fitness Activity: Tailor the challenge to your own fitness and wellness goals. Whether it’s running, biking, bicycling, walking or any other activity.
- Solo or in a Team: You can register as an individual or register a team for the fitness activity.
- Timing: You can choose to do your fitness challenge in a day, a week or for the full two-weeks (June 1-15, 2025).
- Compete: If you would like to compete with others virtually, simply track your activity and share in your profile.
Step by Step:
Step 1: Sign-up
You can sign-up as individual or as a team. It’s Free.
Step 2: Set Your Fundraising Page
Establish your (or team) fitness goal and link it to your fundraising goal. Take the time to personalize the fundraising page with a photo and say why this cause is important to you. Use this page to engage your network. You also need to select the CCF affiliate you are supporting listed at bottom of your sign-up page. All CCF affiliates have for mission to raise awareness and funding for the programs managed at CCF Namibia and field work in Somaliland. Tax receipt will be available to donors after the event, where applicable.
Step 3: Order Some Swag (optional)
We have a variety of items in our Cheetah Fit Challenge online store. We hope you like this year new event design below. You can purchase your t-shirt or other merchandise after you complete your registration and wear it during the challenge!

Step 5: Be Active!
Walk, jog, run, bike or any other activity and track your progress between June 1-15 through your preferred tracking device and share your progress.
Remember every move count to raise support for the cheetah!
Fundraising for the Cheetah!
In addition of being a Cheetah Ambassador by raising awareness through your fitness challenge, you can help us raise funding to care for cheetahs.
- Set a donation goal for each unit of distance, movement, or any other measurable goal you choose, and ask your network to support you with contributions for your achievements. Keep them updated on your progress to let them know how far you’ve come!
- Share your fundraising goal with your network, explaining why this cause is so important to you. Every dollar raised makes a difference for the cheetah.
- Don’t forget to share your journey with us! Join our Facebook @CCFCheetahFit, and let’s take on this challenge together. Use the hashtags #CheetahFit2025 and #SaveTheCheetah to stay connected and spread the word.
This is your chance to make a real impact—not just on your fitness, but for a species that needs your help. Get moving, raise awareness, and be a part of the solution. Let’s move for the cheetahs!
