With up to 6,000 runners winding through the streets of Santa Barbara and Goleta on Saturday, there are a number of street closures that will affect the public through much of the day.

A run-down of the planned closures are listed below. The Santa Barbara Police Department will direct traffic in sensitive areas while official course monitors will assist in the safety of runners/walkers and residents.

The 26.2 mile full marathon begins at Dos Pueblos High School at 7:30 a.m. The Half-Marathon begins at the Page Youth Center at 7:15 a.m. Both races finish at Santa Barbara City College’s La Playa Stadium near the harbor and Leadbetter Beach.
