Santa Barbara Half Marathon
The Santa Barbara Half Marathon is a scenic waterfront race held in Santa Barbara, California, featuring a half marathon, a 5K, and a kids fun run. Celebrating its 5th anniversary in 2025, the event offers a fully supported, closed course with hydration and first aid stations, along with pace groups for runners. Participants receive medals and long-sleeve tech tees, and the race culminates in a lively finish line festival in the Funk Zone with live music and refreshments.
The event supports local youth running programs and community organizations, contributing a portion of proceeds to local causes. It is part of a festive weekend including a Palm Park Festival and Santa Barbara Running Week. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
