Save the Cheetah 5K Virtual Race
Event ends Dec. 31

Nov 1 - Dec 31, 2021

  • Location: Wherever you live!
  • Venue: Wherever you choose to run!

In honor of International Cheetah Day on December 4th we are teaming up with Virtual Run Events for our second annual Save the Cheetah 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2. The cheetah can accelerate from a standing start to over 95 km per hour in 3 seconds. The cheetah top speed is around 120 km per hour – by far the fastest land animal in the world, streets ahead of all other wild cats, and the fastest running animal. This fast speed is limited to very short bursts, however, with cheetahs able to sprint at top speed for around 60 seconds only.

Fun Cheetah Fact

Whilst sprinting cheetahs spend more time in the air than on the ground. They’re the fastest animal on land, but not actually on the ground too much when sprinting! Let’s race like the cheetahs!

Congratulations to Peggy Clark, winner of the medal design contest! We loved the Namibian sunset Peggy chose for the body of the cheetah and the overall color scheme and the tail detail.

Our virtual Save The Cheetah 5k was so well-received in 2020, that we’re doing it again in 2021!
