The women ? known as the Pinkettes ? say they plan to use their 10,000 Australian dollar ($9,600) prize for a trip to Thailand.

A record keeper from Guinness World Records presented them with a certificate.

    Miss McGlone, a hurdling champion, said before the race that the secret to running in heels was to get up on your toes.

About 100 women ? and one man ? competed in the race, which helped raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

 Darren Kelly was the only man to take part, strapping on a pair of size eight heels with regulation 3-inch heels.

 Former Miss Australia Erin McNaught was on hand to ensure that all heels measured at least 7.5cm  - and that everyone's legs were sufficiently smooth (except for Darren's, that is).

A cheque for $20,000 was presented to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, $1000 of which was raised on the day.
