If you are unable to attend the Race Festival, you may send a proxy to pick up your race packet on your behalf. You must have signed the event’s digital liability waivers when registering for the event. To verify if you’ve signed your waivers, please visit your ACTIVE MyEvents account and locate your Santa Barbara Wine Country Half Marathon entry. If you have not signed your waiver yet, you will see a large red error message that your waivers have not yet been signed.

Please send your proxy with a copy of your driver’s license (digital picture is OK) and your bib# confirmation email to expedite the pick-up process. Confirmation emails will be sent the Thursday of race week. Proxies may only pick-up packets for up to 3 people.
