17th Street High Heel Race in the USA

Every year, people in Washington, DC, USA, race down 17th Street in high heels. The race is called the 17th Street High-Heel Race. Most of the time, people dress up in drag. The event is part of the "High Heel Race Series," which started in Washington, DC, in 1986. It started as a bet between friends and drag queens to see who could get to the end of 17th Street in Washington's Dupont area first.
Most of the time, this contest takes place during Pride Week, which is right before Halloween. The fastest high heel race record is 15 minutes and 19 seconds, which was set in 2019. That's pretty cool, right?
