Santa Barbara Wine Country Half Marathon

Experience the beauty of the Santa Ynez Valley in the heart of Santa Barbara Wine Country as you pass through vineyards, lavender farms, fruit orchards and horse ranches on your way to the finish down Copenhagen Drive in the Danish village of Solvang. Your journey begins in the old west at Maverick Saloon in downtown Santa Ynez. You'll then pass through the quaint town of Los Olivos at the relay transition point of the course before running down scenic Ballard Canyon into Solvang. We offer one of the BEST FINISH areas of any race where you can relax while you recover, then celebrate in style at the Wine & Music Festival in Solvang Park. Sample wines from the top vintners while you enjoy the post-race activities. Bring your family and friends to celebrate Mothers Day weekend in the wine country. Plan to stay and visit the many shops, restaurants, wineries and other offerings of this magnificant valley and the greater Santa Barbara area.
