Shenzhen Sea World in South China hosted an unusual take on a sprint race on Saturday.

The entire track measured only 50 meters long – easy, right?!

That is until... stilettos are brought into the equation.

The race was called “Be Silly, Run for Fun” and demanded that all competitors don a pair of heels.

Unsurprisingly, many men struggled to find their stride, but in the end it was a British man who proved the most practiced and tottered his way to victory.
