Santa Barbara Businesses we LOVE and Giveaways
Dune Coffee has been our favorite coffee in Santa Barbara since they’ve existed. We are SO excited to partner with DUNE Coffee who will be offering FREE coffee for all participants with their race bib during race week. DUNE is a local, women-owned specialty coffee roaster. We believe that the coffee shop is so much more than a business: it can and should be an oasis for our customers and employees: a place that creates joy,
connection, and amazing and fun coffee times..
Members of DUNE have been participating in She.Is.Beautiful for years
and we are excited to share our favorite Santa Barbara coffee with you
all.
Topa Topa Santa Barbara Tap Room is the official location of the SIB post-party. Stay tuned to learn discounts and more sweet deals that you’ll find here after the race. “Topa Topa Brewing Co. was founded in 2015 in Ventura, CA, nestled between the Topa Topa mountains in Ojai and the salty shores of the Pacific. We believe the people should drink great beer! And we love that we get to craft great beer amongst a landscape and community that inspires us.
Topa Topa is upheld by a trifecta of values: quality, craftsmanship, and community spirit. This means we use the freshest ingredients, we work with the most skilled brewers around, and we thrive on uplifting and unifying our community. We get stoked on good surf, a long hike, a tough climb, or a good-old-fashioned day of hard work. And we think these days are made all the better when we’re surrounded by friends with a cold beer in hand.”
Stay tuned to learn more about local Santa Barbara race week giveaways!
Worry Free Registration
We feel confident that our 2021 Race will take place in-person in Santa Barbara. Following current state guidelines we will be able to host our live event to 1500 participants.
We will be working closely with local health department and city officials to ensure the safety of the community and our participants.
With that said, there has been an ever-changing climate over the last year and a half due to COVID-19. When we launch registration on June 2nd for She.is.beautiful 5k and 10k in Santa Barbara, we are offering a worry-free registration.
What does this mean? On July 1st, we will share any updated state guidelines with our registered participants. At that time we believe we will have clear vision of the event and if it can happen in person in September. At that time, if we do not believe we will be able to host the event in-person, all 2021 registered participants will have the option for: a full refund, deferral to 2022, or participate in a touchless experience. You will get to choose your option between July 1- July 7th.
Please note, if on July 1st we still plan to host the event in-person, there will be no refunds.
*Please note this does not include guests who registered in 2020. Their deferral process is the same as initially stated.
So why should I register on June 2nd instead of waiting until July 1st? Perks of registering early include discounted pricing and getting into the event before it sells out.

Our Charity Partner: Girls Inc of the Greater Santa Barbara Area
Girls Incorporated of the Greater Santa Barbara area has been She.is.beautiful’s local charity partner for the last 10 years. Below, learn more about the incredible work Girls Inc. does on the ground. Two ways you can support this organization through your participation in She.is.beautiful is joining Team Girls Inc. in your registration and fundraising OR creating a Corporate Team with your work team members and fundraising together.
A message from Girls Inc.:
At Girls Inc. we work each day to inspire all girls to be STRONG, SMART, and BOLD!
Our mission drives our dedicated staff, volunteers, and coaches to help unlock the potential of every youth who walks through our doors, encouraging all girls to feel safe to express themselves to trusted adults in hands-on, minds-on programs. This is the Girls Inc. Experience.
But what does it mean to turn inspiration into action? It’s one thing to “talk the talk” and say we inspire all girls, but how do we “walk the walk” and deliver on that promise? To answer that, the Girls Inc. Experience can be summed up with three P’s: the People, the Places, and the Programs. This unique combination creates a nurturing and supportive atmosphere for girls to find their own voices, learn to advocate for themselves and for others, and develop their leadership skills that they can take into their communities, schools, and families.
The People
At the heart of the Girls Inc. Experiences are the supportive mentors and facilitators who hold space for all girls to learn to be strong, smart and bold in their own ways. They represent the girls they serve and are often times leaders in their own communities and families. When girls remember their Girls Inc. Experience, they always remember their mentors’ names. Sustained exposure to trusted adults is essential to a girl’s social/academic/emotional development. Our mentors create experiences for girls to follow their curiosity, develop their inherent strengths, and build leadership skills for their futures.
The Places
Anyone who walks into our Teen Center or Goleta Valley Center campuses feels welcomed. At ease. Safe. That is not an accident; our physical spaces are intentionally designed to be inclusive. For many girls and teens, Girls Inc. is the only place where they feel physically or emotionally safe. As a result, our girls feel safe and inspired to share their talents and ideas with our staff and their peers. The Girls Inc. Experience begins in a safe pro-girl environment that cultivates creativity and healthy expression without judgment.
The Programs
Girls Inc. programs are specifically designed to meet the needs of girls today. They are hands-on, minds-on, interesting, and they inspire wonder. More than just another academic-type class outside of schools, the Girls Inc. programs – games, cooking sessions, art projects, STEMinist classes – expose girls to new experiences and ideas and allow them to learn about the world around them.
YOU can invest in HER future today by supporting the Girls Inc. Experience.
