Welcome to the American Riviera

We’ve got our Marketing Director, David, as our resident Santa Barbarian, but the ties to the area are deep with UCSB grads – Run Local Founder, J.T. and Race Directors Scott & Justin. In addition some of our favorite events are in Santa Barbara, including June’s State Street Mile and September’s She.Is.Beautiful race. 

While Santa Barbara checks in at a mere 100,000 people or so, its international appeal has made it a hub for work and play – our two favorite things, which often overlap. The region’s trails have also attracted some of the world’s best trail runners, including HOKA ONE ONE athlete, Dani Moreno, who welcomes you to this page. It’s no coincidence that our Official Shoe & Apparel sponsor HOKA ONE ONE calls the region home and is putting out some of the most creative footwear on the market. 

Enjoy some of our favorite spots, listen to some music or enjoy the meditative release of coloring some pages. PS – David’s toddler loves garbage trucks and he promised him to add a garbage truck coloring page. Done. Thank you to Marborg Industries for keeping his son entertained.
