Looking for a fun race series to keep you in shape during the winter and early spring? Look no further than the inaugural SBXC Series presented by Teva, a three race series held at UCSB. Enjoy Romeo's Run & Relay with a loved one and take part in either the four mile open race and/or the four mile couples relay.
Celebrate St. Patricks Day in style by coming out to UCSB's scenic (and green) West Campus for a 5 mile race on some of Santa Barbara's hidden trails. Be sure to make it out for the big finale, the Gaucho Gallop on April 25th. The Gallop features a 1 mile Dog Dash, 5K Fun Run/Walk, the SB Running Company 10K race and a Kid's Dash. All three races will feature plenty of trail running to keep your legs fresh for the summer racing scene.
What makes these races no waste? We will be teaming up with the UCSB Associated Students Recycling to recycle or compost all of our left over supplies meaning no waste will be going to the community land fill. For more information on how this race is creating a new model for sustainability and to get involved, contact John Lofthus at 805.893.8416
