STYLESENSE Stiletto Sprint 2010

20 August, 2010 Nelia

Last year, STYLESENSE held Toronto’s very first Stiletto Sprint. It was a great event that I had the pleasure of participating in. If you weren’t there last year, I highly recommend that you try the sprint this year! All proceeds from registration fees will be donated to Look Good Feel Better, Canada’s only national charity that addresses the appearance related effects of all cancers affecting women. And you will have a chance to win some pretty great prizes! “The winner of the women’s final will receive a whopping $10,000 in cash (not to mention fame and glory)! Women’s second and third place will receive $2,500 and $1,000 respectively.” And if your man or guy friend is interested in supporting Look Good Feel Better, then he too can put on some stilettos and run like the wind (seriously, last year’s men’s race winner ran super fast) – the winner of the men’s final gets a prize of $1,000!

Date:

Friday, September 17, 2010

Time:

Registered participants to arrive at 6AM
Races take place between 6:45AM – 8:30AM

Location:

STYLESENSE, Heartland Town Centre, 5915 Rodeo Drive, Mississauga, Ontario

A minimum $25 donation to Look Good Feel Better. Plus, for every dollar you donate above $25, STYLESENSE will match it! (to a maximum of $20,000)

Toronto’s First Stiletto Sprint: Running in Heels

14 September, 2009 Nelia

sp27 

Last week, the day had finally come for Toronto to have its first Stiletto Sprint! First of all, let me just say…5:15 am! My dedication to all things fun and stylish is very, very strong…hence had to wake up at 4:30 am on a Friday morning! It was still dark out when we got to the Ontario Place parking lot, where the event was held. And judging by the number of people that showed up, I wasn’t the only one who was curious!

The Stiletto Sprint was held in support of the Look Good Feel Better foundation – Canada’s only cancer charity dedicated to empowering women to manage the effects that cancer and its treatment have on their appearance, and often on their morale.

Having heard about the Glamour Stiletto Run in other cities, I’ve always been eager to participate in one, and when I heard that Toronto was getting its own sprint, I was super excited! Despite the early wake up call on a workday, everyone seemed to be in great spirits, participating in various activities, shoe competitions, and of course running in heels. I was part of Heat Two, and ran 50 meters in 11 seconds. Some girl in Heat Five ran the same distance in about 8 seconds. EIGHT. IN HEELS. And here I thought that my daily heel-wearing had prepared me for the competition. Let’s just say I was blown out of the competition by other, more experienced runners.

The best part of the event for me was the Men’s Final. Despite the promise of a $1000 prize, only 7 guys showed up, so the chances to win were fantastic! And did they ever give us an awesome show! The stretches, the posing, the running…some guys even had amazing legs that could rival those of some ladies!

The winners got the glory, the trophies, and hard cold cash! The run raised $3,000 in registration fees for the Look Good Feel Better foundation, as well as a generous $20,000 donation from StyleSense. All in all it was a fantastic event that I was very happy to be a part of! Will practice more next year!
