Are you ready for your medal? Lace up your running shoes and get ready for the fourth annual Santa Barbara Half Marathon, one of California’s most scenic running events. Whether you’re taking on the 13.1-mile half marathon, enjoying the 5K, or cheering on a young participant in the Kids Fun Run, this event offers an unforgettable race experience along the beautiful Santa Barbara coastline.
The course showcases some of Santa Barbara’s most iconic landmarks, featuring stretches along Cabrillo Boulevard, the vibrant downtown corridor of State Street, and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Mountains. From first-time runners to experienced racers chasing a personal best, the Santa Barbara Half Marathon provides a welcoming and energetic atmosphere for participants of all ages and abilities.

Located in the heart of Santa Barbara’s popular Funk Zone district, the post-race festival is the perfect place to relax, celebrate your accomplishment, and soak in the coastal atmosphere.
