Santa Barbara Half Marathon & 5K
The Santa Barbara event offers a waterfront half marathon and additional race options on November 8, 2026. The event supports local youth running programs and is organized by Run Local with partner organizations such as HOKA and UCLA Health.
Available race options include:
- Half Marathon presented by HOKA
- UCLA Health 5K
- HOKA Kids Fun Run

The weekend program includes packet pickup, a Palm Park Festival presented by the SB Independent, and a Funk Zone Finish Line Festival. The event is part of Santa Barbara Running Week presented by HOKA and lists resources for participants such as training guidance, pace teams, awards and elite information, and results and photos.
Community support is a stated focus. Since 2021, the event and its participants have directed over $190,000 to local organizations through a partnership with the Santa Barbara Running Association. Run Local states that at least 5% of every dollar in its network is given to partner organizations that work in local communities.
