Season opener on June 6th is free for all participants
The days are getting longer and the ocean is getting warmer, which can mean only one thing: Reef and Run!
The premier ocean swimming event on the South Coast, Reef and Run returns to East Beach in 2019 on Thursday, June 6.
As the Cabrillo Bathhouse is renovated, our swims and post-race party will remain at East Beach. We’ll congregate on the sand in front of the Cabrillo West parking lot. There will be bathrooms, food, drinks, and live music!!
The season runs every Thursday evening through August 22. Anyone who is interested in purchasing a season pass can do so HERE.
We would like to offer a special thanks to presenting sponsor American Riviera Bank.
Since its start in 2009, Reef and Run has strived to be the best ocean swimming event in town, by swimmers, for swimmers. Reef and Run offers three different swim races: The Santa Barbara Swim Club 500-meter swim, the Santa Barbara Triathlon 1k swim and the Advanced Veterinary Specialists 1-mile swim. On select weeks, the Stuart Sato Biathlon takes swimmers out around the 1k course and then onto a soft sand run towards the harbor and back. Thanks to sponsorship by local law firms Reef and Run 2018 will also feature the Mullen & Henzell Youth 1K Grand Prix Series and the Howell, Moore & Gough 12 and Under 500M Grand Prix.
See you at the beach!!
