Yahoo!Today (June 3) is National Running Day, and what better way to celebrate than to get out and run. There is a 5-kilometer (3.1 miles) fitness run/walk every Wednesday at Shoreline Park as part of the Nite Moves series. Vicki’s 3,000 is a 7½-lap run around the La Playa Stadium track this Saturday morning. On Tuesdays, there is the Reef & Run series at the Cabrillo Bathhouse. The final Surf N Turf event at UCSB, which includes a 5k run, is this Friday. On any day, of course, you can jog on your own for free.
Elings Park will be the scene of the Santa Barbara Bicycle Festival on Saturday and Sunday (June 6-7). Races will include cross country, downhill, super D, dual slalom and BMX. The festival kicks off Friday evening with a prologue time trial at the Sandpiper Golf Club.
The season begins this weekend for the Santa Barbara Foresters at the UCSB baseball diamond, while the Santa Barbara Breakerswill conclude their regular season on the basketball court at San Marcos High. The Foresters host the San Diego Waves in a three-game series, and the Breakers will play the Pasadena Slam on Saturday night and the Newport Surf on Sunday afternoon.
The last high school team standing is the baseball team at Carpinteria’s Cate School. The Rams take a 19-1 record into the CIF Division VII championship game against Cornerstone Christian on Friday in Long Beach.
