The mission of Run for Life is to introduce and encourage the healthy benefits of running for life to Santa Barbara County youth.
Santa Barbara’s Runforlife.org is a youth running program that has these three components:

1 Incentives such as shoelace tags, bracelets and T-shirts are awarded as runners accumulate jogging miles. Record your miles on logbooks or on the web site being developed at www.runforlife.org.

2 Fun Runs: Free entry into Santa Barbara 1-mile fun runs (see schedule). After completing 26 miles of training and documenting 10 good deeds, Run for Life will sponsor your participation in local 5Ks. All finishers are winners and are awarded with Run for Life fi nisher ribbons.

3 Coached Running Clinics: Sundays from noon to 1PM, from September 7, 2008 to June 28, 2009, Club West Run for Life coaches will lead a youth running workout starting from Santa Barbara Running, 118 Anacapa St. There is an $8 per six month fee for insurance that includes Club West membership (Scholarships available).
