Wow! There are many races and runs in Malaysia but this is one of
a kind; have you heard of First High Heel Dash in Malaysia? This is fun where
we will be dashing 50 metres in our high heel to win attractive prizes at the
same time raise funds for charity in celebration of Women Empowerment and in support
of Women's Aid Organisation (WAO). I am game for this dash, how about you?
Have you run in high heel before? I think most of us did, as women
we actually have to juggle so many roles, multi-tasking and constantly on the
run. I like the idea of this high heel dash which is a chic all-day event for
50m of fun dash competition.

A quick dash of information about the origin of high heel race - the
world’s first high heel race was introduced in 2006 by Glamour magazine in
Amsterdam. Since then, high heel races have gained popularity worldwide. From
New York to Hong Kong, many cities around the world are organizing races of
their own every year. High heel runs have become a global symbol of empowerment
and solidarity for important women’s causes around the world.
Hey! There will be live entertainment, great food, fabulous
women-centric businesses, inspiring talks and activities, plus fabulous prizes
