Kelly Ripa High Heel-A-Thon






In case you missed it, television show host of Live with Regis and Kelly, Kelly Ripa hosted a High Heel-A-Thon for the March of Dimes in Central Park yesterday.

The High Heel-A-Thon consisted of a 150-yard dash, with the competitors wearing- you guessed it- high heels as they ran. To be specific, the shoes had to have a minimum of a three-inch heel to actually compete for the prizes.

Five hundred women and eleven men from almost 40 states showed up to compete, with prizes awarded for first place ($25,000), second place ($5,000) and third place ($2,500). Even the guys got a prize, with the men’s dash winner taking home $1,000.



The winner of the event is pictured above. Of course a woman won first place most women can run in heels, dance in heels everything in heels!
