Santa Barbara Running Association

Empowering Youth Through Sport

The Santa Barbara Running Association (SBRA) proudly serves a vibrant and diverse community of children across Santa Barbara. Over the past few years, SBRA has delivered impactful running and track & field programs in partnership with the United Boys & Girls Club, the Santa Barbara Unified School District, and through its own celebrated Junior Grand Prix race series.

In spring 2025, SBRA launched a new youth track program – designed to inspire, engage, and empower young athletes. We're thrilled to offer scholarship opportunities to ensure that every child with a passion for track and field has the chance to participate, regardless of financial barriers.

Funds raised through the Santa Barbara Half Marathon go directly toward making these programs possible, helping us build a stronger, healthier future for our youth—one stride at a time.
