From Finish Lines to Forever: A Valentine’s Day to Remember at Tradition

Valentine’s Day at Tradition was about more than flowers and chocolates this year, it was about heart in every sense of the word.

Over the course of one memorable Saturday, the community came together for two very special events hosted by Mattamy Homes: the inaugural Heart and Sole 5K and the “Art of I do” community wedding and vow renewal ceremony. Together, the events showcased what makes Tradition more than a community, it is a place where meaningful moments happen.

Running for a Cause: Heart and Sole 5K

 The day kicked off with the inaugural Heart and Sole 5K in honor of American Heart Month, bringing together runners, families, local partners, and supporters for a morning centered around health, awareness, and community spirit.

The race began and ended at Heart in the Park, the soaring sculpture designed by internationally acclaimed artist JEFRE, whose own experience surviving a heart attack in his 30s inspired the piece. The event welcomed nearly 500 runners and walkers, with many more friends, families and members of the community coming out to cheer them on and show support.

Participants laced up their sneakers not only to cross the finish line, but to make a difference. Proceeds from the event benefited the American Heart Association, helping to advance heart health initiatives and lifesaving research. Mattamy Homes matched all pledge donations, bringing the total contribution to more than $11,000. Guests also had the opportunity to participate in a heart-healthy pledge activity.

From the buzz of the starting line to the celebratory atmosphere at the finish, the event reflected the strong sense of connection that defines Tradition. After the race, participants enjoyed snacks, race swag and celebrated age-group award winners. The morning also featured music, food trucks and community vendors, including Air and Petals, Hustle 360, Treasure Coast Cross Fit, Island Pig and Fish, Letizia’s Creations,

Affogator Drip and Tradition’s T Club.

A Valentine’s Day “I do”

Later in the day, Mattamy Homes joined forces with St. Lucie County to celebrate couples that say “I do” during a community wedding and vow renewal ceremony.

Set against the backdrop of the world’s tallest heart sculpture, the ceremony transformed the space into a romantic setting filled with love, laughter, and happy tears. Surrounded by friends, family, and members of the community, the couple exchanged vows in a place that represents connection and shared experiences. Michelle R. Miller,
