Whether they were wearing a cone, prism, stiletto or a wedge, all the men agreed the race was a great way to raise awareness for domestic violence on White Ribbon Day.

Eric Fernando was the first of the 10 competitors across the finish line, showing no difficulty in striding out in his high heels.

"I didn't do any practice, it just came to me on the day," he said.

"It is a great way for us to show support for what is a very serious issue.

"I will be back next year to defend my title and this is a career highlight," he joked.

Peter Brown was the only competitor to go the full kit-and-ka boodle and wear a dress, and he revealed he had little trouble choosing which one.

"It is my partner's, it floats on her but it's a pretty tight fit for me," he said.

"It was my number one straight away, I didn't need to look at any others."

The idea for the high heel run comes from the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes campaign, which is an international men's march to stop rape, sexual assault and gender violence.

Dubbo Violence Prevention Month member Graeme Cheetham was pleased with the amount of people that turned out for the event.

"This is all part of the campaign to eliminate violence from our society," he said.

"If we can increase our knowledge and understanding about something we will have a greater awareness of it.

"The intent of this is a lighthearted event for the men of Dubbo to show they are standing up to domestic and family violence."
