Heels for Honeybees

One trail. One cause. One cash prize. And yes—it’s going on YouTube.

I’ve organized a one-of-a-kind event, and it’s happening Saturday, July 26th, 2025, at Sugarloaf Mountain Trailhead in Boulder County. From 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, we’ll be filming, taking photos, and connecting with other people who care about the earth, the environment, and using movement for good. At 11:00 AM sharp, the race begins—and the first person to the top wins 50% of all funds raised. The other 50% goes to BeeGirl.org, a nonprofit helping save pollinators and restore wildflower habitats. 🐝

The hike is 1.4 miles roundtrip, with about 400 feet of elevation gain. Temps should be between 65–75°F. Some water will be available, but all participants should bring extra water, snacks, and anything else they need to stay safe and hydrated. You must be 18 or older to participate and wearing heels that are 3 inches or higher. Wedges, pumps, stilettos, and heeled sandals or boots are all okay—platforms and other types of height do not count. To win; the racer must hike to the top, grab a bracelet token, and bring it back down. The first person to hand their token to a volunteer wins the prize! You get to keep your bracelet as a souvenir.

Please respect the land: pack out everything you pack in. Leave no trash behind and help protect the wildlife and wildflowers we’re walking for. 🌱

This event will be featured in an upcoming YouTube video, so if you’ve been looking for a moment to do something bold, joyful, and good for the planet—this is it. Sign up, show up, and don’t miss your shot to be part of something unforgettable.
