Join us for Santa Barbara’s classic road race on America’s birthday! The 62nd edition of the nation’s longest running 15K tradition (and second oldest race on the west coast!) will be run once again on Fourth of July. The event features the 15K and will once again include the family friendly 4K run/walk! The 15K is a SBAA Grand Prix event and also serves as the USATF SCA 15K Championship.
Put together your best red, white and blue running outfit and join your fellow runners for the Semana Nautica. Organized by your Santa Barbara Athletic Association, the Semana Nautica is one Santa Barbara tradition that gets better with time. The flat and fast 15K course starts and finishes at Hollister Elementary School (4950 Anita Ln, Santa Barbara, CA 93111), traversing the Obern Trail Bike Path toward Goleta Beach. As we celebrate America’s Birthday, this course will allow you to cheer one another on throughout the 15K course!
SBAA events benefit the greater running community, school and club running programs throughout Santa Barbara County. Since 2009, over $124,000 has been donated to our community.
