Registration Extended — Join Team Blind Fitness 2026!

There’s still time to join Team Blind Fitness 2026 for the Santa Barbara Half Marathon & 5K!
​
As our team continues to grow, we still have space for 5 blind and low vision athletes and 5 volunteer guides to join us for an inspiring weekend of movement, community, achievement, and connection.

Thanks to the generous support of the Santa Barbara Half Marathon & 5K and the Santa Barbara Running Association, race registration is fully sponsored for all Team Blind Fitness athletes and volunteer guides.

Whether you're a walker, jogger, runner, or interested in serving as a guide, we’d love to have you be part of this special weekend. Whether it’s your first 5K, your next half marathon, or your first time guiding, you’ll be surrounded by a welcoming community supporting one another all the way to the finish line.

Registration has been extended through October 9!
​
The weekend begins with a Pre-Race Team Lunch on Saturday, November 7, where participants, guides, families, and volunteers can meet, connect, and prepare for race day together.
