Uniting To Support Africa’s Rangers
Check out all the action from the 2023 event on our Race Day Hub.
The Wildlife Ranger Challenge is the world’s largest celebration of solidarity, support and fundraising for the ranger profession. More than 100 teams of rangers spanning the African continent competed in a series of challenges through June-September, culminating in a coordinated 21km race across their respective protected areas on 16th September 2023.
A global campaign #ForWildlifeRangers created a united front for conservation, driving donations to secure vital funding and connecting virtual race participants around the world to run in tandem with Africa’s biodiversity guardians.
Train Like A Ranger
Wildlife rangers are required to stay at the top of their physical and mental game. Their vital work takes them into challenging environments and conditions. For their safety and wellbeing rangers train to keep in peak physical shape.
Ahead of race day, ranger teams spanning the African continent competed in a series of mental and physical challenges, preparing for their 21km half marathon on 16th September 2023.
