Santa Barbara Half Marathon & 5K

The Santa Barbara Half Marathon & 5K takes place in Santa Barbara, California. This annual event is scheduled for November 8, 2026, and is presented by HOKA. The weekend serves as a celebration of the global running community and attracts participants from various locations.

Available distances include:

  • Half Marathon
  • 5K

All participants in the event receive a 100% organic cotton t-shirt and a finisher's medal. Registration also provides entry to several weekend activities, such as a shakeout run, yoga in the park, and a finish line festival. While the Half Marathon registration opens first, the 5K registration typically opens at a later date, with current half marathon registrants receiving the first opportunity to sign up friends and family.

The event is organized in support of the Santa Barbara Running Association and several local community organizations. Participants have the option to register as individuals or as part of a team. Registration fees are non-refundable, even in cases of medical or personal emergencies. If the course or event time must be altered due to circumstances beyond the organizer's control, refunds are not provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
