First High Heel Dash in Malaysia

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.
