Find out more about the UCSB Tri team and Kendra's Race by going to the UCSB Triathlon Team website.
In 2006, after the death of their teammate and friend, Kendra Payne, the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) Triathlon Team changed the name of their annual triathlon to Kendra’s Race. Kendra's Race has been held every year since then (except in 2010 and 2021).
Each year the UCSB triathlon team generously donates a proportion of the race entrance fees to the Kendra Chiota Payne Memorial Fund.
The 2025 running of Kendra's Race will be held on Sunday, November 16, 2025. The UCSB triathlon team is stoked to offer a Collegiate Sprint race, Age Group Sprint, 5k Run and Triathlon Relay. The race will be epic!! You will receive free socks + goodies with registration! Registration is coming soon! Go to https://www.ucsbtri.com/kendras.
Last year's race was officially sanctioned to include youth, and generous sponsors provided donations to all athletes, along with prizes for the top finishers in every category.
