The third edition of the 200-metre (219-yard) race took place a week ahead of Mexico City Pride, one of the world’s largest LGBTQ+ celebrations.
Participants were required to wear heels not shorter than 10 centimeters (4 inches).
According to the organizers, each participant paid an $11 entry fee, which will be donated to a nonprofit supporting HIV and AIDS services in Mexico.
The winner was a 30-year-old architect who claimed he had never walked in heels before.
