RunFor Life Misson:
Santa Barbara County’s Run-For-Life program is a non-profit organization focused on getting Santa Barbara County Kids introduced to running as a gateway to better health and an activity that they can do for life.
-We stress learning the proper techniques of running in a fun, safe, supportive environment.
-All kids ages 8-18 regardless of ability, physical ability or skill are welcome to participate!
- We work to minimize or eliminate the costs for kids and their family’s associated with getting fit and participating. |

Our Run-For-Life Program Goals include:
Let kids experience the joy of running and good citizenship.
Introduce them to other kids in a positive social and athletic environment.
Build self esteem and confidence in their physical abilities.
Minimize or eliminate the cost of participating in local athletics.
Give kids the coaching, motivation and skills enough to view running as something that they can do for fun and to stay fit for the rest of their lives.
All associated parents and relatives of your child are also welcome to participate on our Sunday introduction runs and can follow along in getting fit with their children!
Cost: Run For Life is focused on minimizing the cost of participating in local running activities. Our intent is always to minimize or eliminate costs for kids and their parents whenever possible. (Organized sports are expensive enough as it is without adding to your financial burden!) One cost that is unavoidable is liability insurance to cover each participant in the programs. We get this insurance through Club West who is the parent sponsor of Santa Barbara Run for Life programs. This insurance cost is $7.50 per six months or $15 per year. (Financial relief is available for those families in need) We have also negotiated special rates at most of the local races for Run-For-Life participants which allows your child to participate at little or no cost. We do not charge for coaching or our Sunday fun runs and we have sponsors to pick up the cost for the ribbons, medals and honors that your children will earn when they participate.
How does your child participate? Simply print out and fill in the sign up and insurance waiver pages located at the tab on the bottom of this page and either mail them in or bring them with your child to any Sunday fun run and we will introduce you to the Run-For-Life events available for you and your child!
Here are some of the reasons kids are participating in Run-For-Life programs for Santa Barbara County youth:
-Kids that have not had much athletic experience and need a program to get them started on a lifetime activity to improve athletic achievement and physical development.
-Kids that want to cross-train for other athletic events.
-Kids that want to have fun and meet other kids in a positive environment.
-Kids that want to develop physically in a city-endorsed, low cost program.
-Kids that want to develop their running skills through volunteer coaches with significant running experience.
