Santa Barbara's challenging Pier to Peak Half-Marathon on Sunday, September 5, 2021 takes you from the famous Santa Barbara Friendship Dolphins Fountain at the edge of Stearns Wharf, past the "Queen of the Missions" and on up an elevation of 3,996 feet to the majestic views at La Cumbre Peak.

Capture the panoramic layout of the city, Santa Barbara Channels and the Channel Islands. You can see where you started from 13.1 miles (sea level) earlier. Shuttle service takes you back to the start.

One of the more challenging races around town. Your quads and calves may be screaming at you, but it'll be worth it for the views at the finish.
