About the Santa Barbara 5K
The Santa Barbara 5K starts on Cabrillo Boulevard between State Street and Garden Street and runs a loop along the waterfront for the first two miles. The flat course then turns into downtown and finishes on State Street, a few blocks from the beach. It runs on the Sunday of race weekend, the same morning as the half marathon.
