Live Ultimate™ Takes a Stand Against Child Hunger In America - Runs To Help End It Launches South Beach 5k Run as the Ultimate Road Trip
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Jan. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Live Ultimate™, the luxury health-style brand announced today the official launch of its 2012 LIVE ULTIMATE OCEAN DRIVE RUN, a South Beach-infused, world-class 5k running event to help raise awareness of childhood hunger in America. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 16 million children in this country struggle with hunger. To help combat this reality, the February 11th race will donate funds to Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry® Campaign, a national movement to end childhood hunger in America. With over 2000 runners last year, the run has become an exhilarating and charitable event in Miami's world-famous South Beach.
"With nearly one in five children in America suffering from hunger, this is more than just a run, it is a gathering inspired by the idea that together we can become the difference that can make the difference," said Marc Wachter, race founder. "We are excited to partner with Share our Strength's No Kid Hungry Campaign and the movement of people committed to making sure that no child in America is ever hungry."
Reinforcing its commitment to the cause, the company has attracted the support of EQUINOX Fitness Clubs, Whole Foods Market, Braman BMW, and Ulysse Nardin for the race which will take place on the picturesque oceanfront of Miami's famous South Beach, one of the most recognized locations in the United States. During the peak of season, this famous stretch of beach is shut down to traffic to form an exclusive and picturesque oceanfront course for the LIVE ULTIMATE OCEAN DRIVE RUN.
