Stiletto Run

Berlin's Stiletto Run, held last August 19th and sponsored by Glamour Magazine, was widely reported and commented all over the press and other media. Some articles said that it was the first high heels race ever, but it isn't true. Similar races were held in Amsterdam on March 9th, and in Moscow on last July 8th. There are rumors about other races planned in July in St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk, but there's no evidence about that.
Berlin edition was won by 25-year old psychology student Nadine Sonnabend, who taped rubber strips to the bottom of her shoes, beating the other 100 specially chosen perticipants on a 100 metres track, and winning the 10,000 € prize. The heels had to be (nearly) proper stilettos, at least 7 cm high and a maximum of 1.5 wide.
