Why Should You Join the Challenge?
1. Flexibility: Participate solo or team up with friends, family, or colleagues. The choice is yours!
2. Make a difference: Your efforts will directly support the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in combating the illegal wildlife trade and human-wildlife conflict in the Horn of Africa.
3. Get fit: Set your own fitness goals and track your progress. It’s a win-win for you and the cheetahs!
4. Raise awareness: Share your progress on the Cheetah Fit Challenge on social media using #cheetahfit @ccfcheetahuk and #SaveTheCheetah to spread the word.
5. Corporate teams welcome: Special registration is available for businesses looking to boost team morale and corporate social responsibility.
How Can I Get Involved?
1. Choose your activity: Pick any fitness activity that suits you. There are plenty of free apps like Nike Training Club, Strava, or Fiton to help you track your progress.
2. Fundraise: Your efforts will directly support the care of rescued cheetahs and programmes to reduce human-wildlife conflict. Raise US$300 or more to get your name on a recognition sign at one of our centres!
3. Join the global community: Participants from around the world are welcome. CCF affiliates in Canada, France, Germany, the UK, and the US are all taking part.
