the FOX
CHALLENGE
CHALLENGE
The Fox Challenge is an untimed race, organized by and for First Nations, where participants try to become Foxes!
The Fox Challenge 🦊, what is it?
It is a turnkey project, designed to be easily implemented in First Nations communities by any local stakeholder.
The objective of the participants is to become Foxes by completing a distance of 2 km, either by walking, running or snowshoeing. The Foxes are then rewarded with a unique medal bearing the mention of the Fox in all the indigenous languages of Quebec.
What next?
It is precisely when you reach the title of Fox that the challenge takes on its full meaning! Once this challenge has been taken up, new routes are available to participants: they will be able to transform into a porcupine (4km), a hare (6km), a beaver (8km), and even an eagle (10km), as they cross greater and greater distances.

The Fox Challenge is invited to Innu Takuaikan Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam, an Innu First Nation in Quebec, Canada. It is based in Sept-Îles on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence River and owns the reserves of Maliotenam 27A and Uashat 27. As of 2016, the band has a registered population of 4,608 members.
“I didn’t take off my medal, I even wore it to sleep.“
“The Challenge creates a great atmosphere in the school throughout the week. The classes are motivated to go for a new medal because they see other students in the school taking up the challenge as the week progresses.“
The Fox Challenge is made possible with the support of the New Pathways Foundation through its Niska Project
