About the Event

Runners for Public Lands (RPL) envisions a world in which everyone has access to healthy, runnable landscapes. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that empowers runners to protect public lands and expand access to nature for all.

We are excited to partner with the Santa Barbara Foundation, Los Padres Forest Association, the Santa Barbara Trail League, and the United States Forest Service (USFS), to present the 2026 Trail Work Series in Santa Barbara County. This brings our local community of runners together to learn about and care for the living landscapes we run with. Through repetitive, hands-on service events, we can grow ecological values and create strong connections that inspire runners to care for the places they love.

This is the 5th event for our 2026 Santa Barbara Trail Work Series. Each event is approved, permitted, and insured by the USFS, led by the Los Padres Forest Association trail work leaders, and managed by Runners for Public Lands Ambassadors. Please note that the days and times of all events are subject to change based on the discretion of the USFS, current conditions, and weather. We will keep everyone informed through the Runners for Public Lands Ventura/Santa Barbara Strava Club and direct emails to registrants.
