"Conservation is our future. It is up to us to become a voice for our natural world
and to ensure that species survive for future generations."


As a Trustee of the Board of the Cheetah Conservation Fund, helping to save the cheetah in the wild is a cause I personally support. Please join me in this effort by running or walking in one of the Runs for the Cheetah in Chicago, Portland or Phoenix and helping raise funds to support CCF's efforts in this wonderful cause. Each and everyone of us can truly make a difference.
   --Jeff Corwin

ABOUT THE EVENT

The Run for the Cheetah is a fun and competitive event for runners/walkers and families alike to raise awareness about the endangered cheetah and to raise funds to support the Cheetah Conservation Fund's programs.

Celebrate Earth Day weekend by joining us for the sixth annual Run for the Cheetah, a fun event designed to raise awareness about the endangered cheetah and to raise funds to support the Cheetah Conservation Fund's efforts to ensure the survival of the fastest animal on Earth - the wild cheetah!!

SPECIAL GUESTS TO ATTEND THE RUN FOR THE CHEETAH

Meet Hero of the Planet & Founder of the Cheetah Conservation Fund, Dr. Laurie Marker, and Dr. Bruce Brewer from CCF in Namibia at the Run for the Cheetah. They will be talking about the latest news about the cheetahs, answering your questions and cheering runners, walkers & dashers on as they run to help save the cheetah in the wild! Also, meet Anatolian Shepherd dogs, whose brothers & sisters are working in Africa to save the cheetah. ASDI & ASDCA will be bringing out some of their dogs to highlight CCF's Livestock Guarding Dog program. And then of course, Red, from Red Robin will be out cheering on all of the dashers during the Kids Cheetah Dash!
