2009 High Heel Race

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

TICKETS HAVE SOLD OUT: SEE YOU AT THE RACE TONIGHT, RAIN OR SHINE!

9 pm start

This annual high heel race is now over two decades old, and attracts over 15,000 spectators for a peek into a hilarious, outrageous, over-the-top, and sometimes dangerous race in heels down the 17th Street commercial corridor.  This year the race is reversed, STARTING at 17th and R Streets, and finishing at 17th and Church Streets.  Historic Dupont Circle Main Streets is a beneficiary of the proceeds generated, and provides a clean up crew after the event. 

This year, a VIP standing area is being reserved for just 50 ticket holders at the finish line at Church Street.  This is your chance to avoid the crowds, arrive just 30 minutes before the 9 PM race, and grab a spot to watch the exciting finish with your close friends.  And when the race is done, the VIP ticket includes a Bar Fast Pass that gets you to the front of the line outside Jr's Bar & Grill, 30 Degrees, and Cobalt!  Just show it to the doorman on duty that evening.

Tickets purchased after October 26th will receive an email confirmation about location of the VIP area and cell phone number for coordination of Will Call.
