“California is not a place; it’s a feeling. And this race will make you feel unstoppable!”
parkrun is such a simple concept: turn up every Saturday and volunteer, walk, jog or run 5k.
If you’ve done a traditional 5K, you know they can be a bit lackluster. But the BUBBLE RUN™ is like running through Willy Wonkas’ factory. Clad in white t-shirts, adults, kids and strollers run, walk, dance and play across up to 3 miles of absolute fun! Waves start every 3-5 minutes. Participants will run through the Foam Bogs where there is enough colored foam to cover you from head to toe!
Bubble-teers will also be there to help make sure you get your share of the frothy goodness. Each one of the Foam Bogs is represented by different colored foam. So what if you should accidentally “taste the whimsey?” They don’t taste as great as they are fun, but not to worry. The foam is 100% safe.
Event details and schedule
Please plan on arriving 30-45 minutes prior to your wave start to give yourself plenty of time to park, get your Bubble RUN™ swag, check in if needed, and to get situated.
Please be prompt for your Heat.
Once your heat has started, (the heat is the time you registered for) small waves will be released every 60-90 seconds. Your physical start time is based on a first come-first serve basis, so naturally you will start earlier if you enter the start chute earlier. The last wave within your heat will go out 30 minutes after your scheduled heat (i.e., if your registered heat is for 8AM, the last wave in your heat will leave at 8:30AM).
Bring some extra cash for parking and SWAG!
After you park, bring some extra cash! You'll want to check out our super sweet Bubble RUN store for t-shirts, tutus, and more!
There may be a parking charge of up to $20 for the event that is handled by the venue. With THOUSANDS of smiles present on race day, please have exact change and please don't cut your time too short before the race starts. Cram as many bubblers (legally) into your car to save some cash money money!
Event details and schedule
Join us for the second event in our Sunset series - The Sunset Mile!
Music, food and running! Celebrate a night under the lights with us by running 4 laps on the track! This event is open to all ability levels.
All participants will receive a post race meal ticket for our food truck partner, Birreria y Tacos Doña Betty. Finishers will also receive a commemorative race medal, and winners of each heat will get a special surprise.
ASICS will have spikes and super shoes for you to demo during the race so you can hit your fastest time!
Heats will be seeded based on expected finish times, and will be announced the day before the event. Please estimate as close to your current fitness as possible. BE HONEST WITH YOUR PROJECTED TIME!
Space is limited and will sell out.
**Race director reserves the right to review and revoke winning times.
It's time for the Pacific Breeze 5k, 10k, 15k, Half Marathon fun run/walk!!

Walk Their Journey. Change Their Future.
Join us for a powerful and transformative experience at the Walk for Water 5K Charity Fundraiser, co-hosted by Pathway To Tomorrow and Drop of Water. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a step into the daily reality that millions of women and girls in Africa face just to access something as basic as water.
Every day, women and girls spend 200 million hours hauling unclean water, often walking miles under a burning sun, along dangerous paths, carrying heavy containers. Every two minutes, a child dies from a water-borne disease, and 1.5 million children under five die annually in Africa from diarrhea caused by unsafe water.
Ethiopia, Africa’s second most populous country, is in the grip of this devastating water crisis. Nearly half of its 125 million people lack access to clean water, according to UNICEF.
The situation is even worse in rural areas — where 80% of Ethiopians live and are hit hardest by this crisis, forcing women and girls to walk long distances just to find unclean water. Girls are expected to miss school to collect water for their families. Each journey robs a girl of her education, her safety, and her childhood. For far too many, these walks end in tragedies, like gender-based violence and death — not just exhaustion.
We walk not just for awareness—but for action.
This 5K fundraiser challenges participants to take 7,000 steps, representing the average distance many walk each day to collect water. As you walk, you’ll carry not just steps—but stories. Stories of resilience, hardship, and hope. You'll walk in solidarity with those who can’t just turn on a tap.
We’re asking each participant to go further by asking friends, family, and coworkers to sponsor their steps with a donation to the cause, or join their team to fundraise or walk alongside them!
Our goal? To raise $250,000 to fund 2 deep borehole wells and rural piping systems in up to 16 rural villages in Ethiopia. This will provide clean, safe, and sustainable drinking water for up to 16,000 people.
Your steps can change a life. Your walk can build a well.
Register today. Walk their path. Bring water home.
The 5K route is taking place at Leadbetter Beach - 801 Shoreline Dr, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
The course is scenic, starting at the beach, along the water. If driving to the 5K walk, its best to park at parking lot on the right as you enter to find us (near Shoreline Cafe).
"THE WALL" at Snow Summit in beautiful Big Bear Lake is the longest, hardest mile you will ever run! 1,000 foot climb starting at 7000' elevation.
There are many awards for all age categories and for this years 10th annual run there will be additional special awards. Top male & female get $100 cash. Team discounts available. Free chair lift back down for all participants. Bring money to enjoy lunch (& drinks) on the deck at the top of the mountain at the "Tap House".

The 97th Annual Oceanside Pier Swim is set to take place on September 7, 2026, continuing a cherished tradition that began in 1929. Swimmers of all ages are invited to participate in this one-mile swim around the iconic Oceanside Pier, the longest wooden pier on the West Coast.
Hosted by local organization, Oceanside Masters Swim Club, the club hopes to grow Oceanside Aquatics and community from youth to adulthood. Proceeds from the swim will benefit youth swim programs, high school swim teams, adult swim teams and our local first responders.
