The Spring Track & Field School Games provides the only inter-school athletic competition opportunity for children and teens with intellectual disabilities.
Students from Carpinteria, Goleta, Santa Barbara, and Santa Ynez Valley and more will train for two months with the help of participating Special Education teachers to compete in this event! There are various ways to show your support for these students including helping with staging, heat sheets, timing, awards, and of course set up and break down.

Come join us for a casual cruise to honor our dear friend, Sandy. Ride your cruiser, TT bike, trike, or tandem and wear whatever you like. This is also Earthday weekend in Santa Barbara, so we will start at the Mission rose garden, ride down Garden street to Micheltorena and then to State street and down to the beach. You're on your own from there! This is a casual and informal friendly ride. Please obey all traffic laws, and ride at your own risk. If you wish to stop at Earthday, they have free bike valet!
Sandy was a wonderful friend and member of the Santa Barbara triathlon and running communities. It was truly a joy to be his friend and an honor to know him. Join us as we celebrate his adventurous and inspirational life.

Carpinteria is a beautiful beach town on the Central Coast located between Santa Barbara and Ventura.
The Carpinteria Beach, known as the “World’s Safest Beach,” is very special and has been rated the #1 swimming beach in California, due mostly to its Southern exposure and its protection by the Channel Islands. Swimmers will usually enjoy small surf and the absence of riptides at our unique beach.
The bike course, an open course and large loop, travels along the foothills offering some spectacular ocean views. Both the olympic and sprint courses offer the participant a challenging ride, although the sprint course is also very well suited for the novice triathlete.
The run course, also an open course, winds through some quaint Carpinteria neighborhoods and is mostly a flat loop course.
The Carpinteria Triathlon is a benefit event for the City’s Parks & Recreation youth programs. Proceeds will help to provide scholarships and additional equipment for programs such as Junior Lifeguards and our ocean recreation programs.
