VICTORIA BC, June 29, 2015 —The British Columbia Lions Society for Children with Disabilities is uniting women from across Vancouver Island as they register for Woman2Warrior in Victoria, happening Sunday, August 30 at West Shore Parks and Recreation. The women’s-only charity obstacle adventure race helps raise funds to send over 800 kids and young adults with 
disabilities to one of three accessible Easter Seals camps in BC every year. Registration is now open at www.woman2warrior.com.
Woman2Warrior is an untimed, five-kilometre run that challenges participants to tackle trails and grass, complete with a dozen obstacles designed to test strength, agility, balance and endurance.
“With the tremendous success of Woman2Warrior in Vancouver since 2013, we wanted to bring the same experience to Victoria and raise funds for Easter Seals BC in a fun, supportive way that invites all women to participate,” explained Shannon Bernays, director of special events for the BC Lions Society. 
“Woman2Warrior is designed for women of all ages and fitness levels. The obstacle race is meant to push boundaries and help women step out of their comfort zone – much like our Easter Seals campers.”
Warriors participate as individuals or in teams, with each person required to fundraise a minimum of $300. Registration costs $35 per participant (save 50% with promo code W2W50), and includes a technical shirt, finisher’s gift, and prizes for the top overall fundraisers and best costumes. At Vancouver’s Woman2Warrior this past May, more than 300 participants helped raise $125,000 in support of Easter Seals. The Vancouver event has raised more than $389,000 since its inception in 2013.
“We are beyond excited for Victoria to join the incredible Woman2Warrior community,” added Bernays. “With a full summer ahead of us, this event will definitely help bid summer adieu in high spirits.”
