Did anyone catch Glamour Magazine's Stilleto Run in Berlin yesterday? It was part of this weekend's Global City Festival.

Here's an English translation of the blurb:

QUOTE

Organised by Glamour magazine, 100 women were invited to sprint along Berlin's Kurfürstendamm. The requirement was that all of them must wear high-heels at least 7cm high and no wider than 1.5cm. The prize for fastest runner was a shopping voucher for €10,000. There was also a €2,000 prize for the most beautiful outfit worn, and €1,000 for the coolest stilletos.

We should enter Toronto next year!

Some photos are on the the CNN gallery.

I saw this advertised a month or so ago. They're crazy!! I wonder how many injuries there were.

Yeah, those women are really going for it too. I always look like a constipated penguin when I run in heels.

It's not height that matters, it's the speed.
