The sporting-festive test of the LGTBIQ+ Pride Festival in Madrid known as Carrera de Tacones and has been held for 23 years and is a classic. One of the great events of the holidays that has given rise to many imitative events around the world. This year returns to Pelayo street (Chueca metro) presented by Chumina Power. And she promises to be as fun as ever (although she tests the ankles of those who dare). The appointment is on July 7 at 6 pm.
Organized as a gymkhana, its only rule is that you must wear 15-centimeter heels and reach the finish line in a state worthy of a winner. Along the route there are two refreshment points, where participants must provide themselves with a bag, a dress and lipstick to get ready before reaching the finish line. And there are three qualifying rounds and finals.
If you dare, the drag queen Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha, known for participating in reality show Drag Race Spain and an expert in this race advises to tie your hair up, get a roll of duct tape to secure your heels to your feet and think that your ex is chasing you to motivate you to run more.
In addition, she recommends not putting weight on the heel to maintain balance and (very importantly), wearing makeup. waterproof.

This year’s awards? €350 for the winner, €250 for second place and €150 for third, plus a Tinder Gold subscription. And it is that this year the dating app is the official sponsor of the event and has led the Madrid rugby group, Madrid Titanes Club, to run for them.
