The Seed Food & Wine Festival

The Seed Food & Wine Festival, the largest plant-based festival in the U.S. is the setting for the 2017 Live Ultimate Seed Food & Wine 5K Run, taking place on Saturday November 4  in Miami. 

The Live Ultimate Run series, which started in 1997 as the Ocean Drive Run and is known for putting on first class running events in Miami, Los Angelesand San Francisco, is considered by many to be one of the best local 5K’s of the year. After partnering in 2014 and 2015 with global tennis superstar Serena Williams, the run is back in 2017 for its 15^th edition.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Seed Food & Wine Festival as they share the same philosophy of conscious and mindful plant-based living and the mission of living our best life possible,” says Live Ultimate founder Marc Wachter. “The festival’s core mission is all about creating consciousness and wellness in our community,” explains Seed’s co-founder Alison Burgos. “We are so excited to be partnering with Live Ultimate in bringing a fitness component so everyone can be part of the festival. We think this year’s 5K will get all of South Florida up, out of their chairs and moving.”

The event benefits Health In The Hood, a local South Florida non-profit whose mission is to provide health and wellness opportunities in under-served communities.

The 5 km (3.1 mile) course takes runners through the heart of the vibrant and eclectic streets of the Wynwood Arts District. Participants will receive a premium event t-shirt, green race swag bag, race bib with chip timing, post-race food, drinks and yoga class and guided meditation after the run. The Seed Tasting Village will open to ticket holders at 11 a.m.
