Santa Barbara Half Marathon and 5K
The event is an annual November running weekend in Santa Barbara centered on a waterfront half marathon. The program includes multiple race options and related weekend activities in the Funk Zone and downtown area.
Event distances and options include:
- Half marathon presented by HOKA
- UCLA Health 5K
- HOKA Kids Fun Run
- Remote runners option
Race weekend features packet pick-up, a Palm Park festival and a Funk Zone finish line festival. Organizers provide resources such as training guidance, a pace team, awards and results reporting.
Since 2021, the event and its participants have contributed over $190,000 to local organizations through a partnership with the Santa Barbara Running Association. Run Local allocates at least five percent of every dollar spent in its programs to partner organizations and states a mission to support local communities through running.
Sponsors and partners are publicly listed for the event, and additional practical information such as parking, road closure notices and lodging resources are provided for participants and visitors. The presentation of the half marathon and the 5K by named partners appears in event materials. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
