AUBURN, CA (MPG) - The Women’s Adventure Film Tour (WAFT) returns with its highly anticipated 8th season of short films celebrating extraordinary women and their thrilling adventures. Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled showcase of courage and triumph that will ignite your spirit!

Sponsored by Jack & June Haugen, WAFT is celebrated for its unique approach to showcasing women achieving their adventurous goals. Unlike traditional adventure films focusing on extreme feats, this tour aims to inspire everyone to step outside their comfort zone and challenge their boundaries – their personal Everest. It’s a celebration of bravery, perseverance and the indomitable spirit within us. Films in this year’s tour include:

SOLO — Follow one woman’s mission to run solo and unsupported across mountain ranges on six continents - overcoming obstacles, conquering fears and finding the joy in achieving her goals absolutely alone.

A Bitch of a Race — Now a decade old, this classic alleycat-style race created by cyclist Anna-Lena Kempen is an annual Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania tradition that embraces the cold winter weather and steep topography for which the Steel City is well known.

N.G.R.: The Fabulous Life Of Nancy Greene Raine — N.G.R. has spent a lifetime showing the world what it means to love a sport. As a ski racer, coach, Olympic champ, mountain-resort visionary and Canadian Senator, Nancy Greene Raine is an inter- generational household name for Canadians. Now in her 80s, she’s left her footprint on both the resort and sport communities she’s led, empowering the next generation of skiers.
