High Heel-a-thon is a unique event which will take place on Sunday 27th September when women, and some intrepid men, will slip into their favourite heels to raise money for this great cause.
As the name suggests, this is a fun run (or walk!) with a twist - all participants must at least begin and finish the High Heel-a-thon in their heels. However, for those who can't make it all the way round in heels they are permitted to take them off for the majority of the course!
We are asking for just a £20.00 entrance fee (which covers entrance admin and the cost of your very fetching event t-shirt), and £100 or corporate groups of five, and then to raise as much money as you can for this great cause- at least £100. We are particularly keen to see company teams taking part and customising their t-shirts!
High Heel-a-thon will begin outside Breast Cancer Haven in Leeds with the 1.24 mile route navigating around the Clarence Dock area of the city and returning to a hero's welcome complete with pink carpet in the courtyard outside Breast Cancer Haven. The day does not end there as the afternoon will be filled with fun, food, family activities and much more!
This exclusive event promises to be an exciting day out with those participating receiving a goody bag with lots of fantastic treats and the opportunity to win some amazing prizes as well as the chance to rub shoulders with some very special celebrity guests.
John Korff, of Korff Enterprises, the organiser of the original High Heel-a-thon in New York said "This event will show the International Olympic Committee that stiletto running should be part of the London 2012 programme!"
