Welcome to the Santa Barbara Trail Classic!

Our 23K race is scheduled for June 5th, 2027.

Please check back frequently for updates and more details on this year's event.

23K

The 23K follows a classic Santa Barbara route with roughly 4000 feet of elevation gain.

Starting and finishing at Westmont College, runners will travel up Cold Spring Trail, down San Ysidro Trail, west across the Edison Catway following a portion of the historic Nine Trails course before meeting Cold Spring Trail again and heading to the finish.

This course features two aid stations located at roughly mile 5.50 (8.75km) and mile 9.25 (15km).

42K (pending USFS approval)

The 42K route includes roughly 7000 feet of feet of elevation gain.

Starting and finishing at Westmont College, runners will travel the entire length of Cold Spring Trail up and over the the mountains into the backcountry. The route loops back on Romero Camuesa, Blue Canyon Connector, and Blue Canyon Trail before heading back up and over the mountain where runners head down San Ysidro Trail, west across the Edison Catway following a portion of the historic Nine Trails course before meeting Cold Spring Trail again and heading to the finish.

We are hopeful that the 42k race will happen in 2027 and will keep you notified if and when we get approval.
