2012-03-08T00:28:22Z

They talk the talk, but can they walk the walk? A mile in heels, that is. Oh yes. On April 28, 2012, Capitol Mall will be over taken by 500 men who will complete the one-mile walk course wearing high heels – yes high heels. These men will represent our community – business leaders, elected officials, students, and more will join together to run, walk, and limp their way around the course while bringing an end to violence against women and raising funds for WEAVE.

The event will feature a race day festival including vendors featuring food and lifestyle services, a wine and beer tent, awards ceremony and live entertainment.

REGISTER NOW! The registration fee is $35 - this includes shoes, race entry, event t-shirt, and goody bag. Every registrant will also gain access to the event festival.

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes®

2011-03-21T19:35:15Z

Calling all men! It’s time to strap on a pair of heels and Walk a Mile (or just down the block) in Her Shoes. Join Bob Shallit, Patrick Mulvaney, and other local media men, business owners, and leaders. They’re walking because they know that sexual assault affects women, the men who care about them, their families, friends, coworkers, and our communities.

Statistically, someone you know could be a victim: your mother, grandmother, wife, sister, co-worker or friend. We invite the men of Sacramento to throw on a pair of high-heels and walk in an effort to increase awareness about sexual assault in our community.

REGISTER NOW >> (Registration closes April 8th.) Or learn more here >>

The walk is for men, but the block-party at Zocalo and Paesanos is for everyone! Find out how you can walk, sponsor, and join the fun!
