The 5th Annual Stiletto "Run" We are getting ready to host the 5th annual 0.5K Stiletto "Run" to benefit the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance on June 20th, 2012. Thats right--0.5K (point 5K) or half of a kilometer. ALL ARE WELCOME--We struggled with the correct name as to not exclude those who don't wear stilettos, or those who don't run. In the end, it just came together best as the .5K Stiletto Run. We use the word "run" loosely as we welcome all fun shoe wearers, walkers or runners--we assume most will be walking. However, true race tradition, we will award First, Second place prizes for the first two women to cross the finish line. First Place Mens, and Best Shoes will also be awarded prizes. In order to be eligible for placing prizes, "runners" must be registered and complete the race in a shoe with a minimum heel height of 3 inches. Shoes may not be taped to the foot. Heel circumference must be a maximum of 1.25" diameter. No wedges. Heel height will be checked any one who places first, second, or third placerunners after race to qualify win. All other runners and walkers, wear the most fun shoes to complete the run/walk! Stiletto Run was founded in 2008 by Sue Marfino, owner on Shoe Fly NY (on Elmwood Ave, in Buffalo NY) to benefit the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. Through the 4th year of the event, Stiletto Run has nearly doubled in participants.
