Kendra's Race

Kendra's Race is an annual multi-sport event organized by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) Triathlon Team. Established in 2006, the event serves as a memorial to former teammate Kendra Payne. The competition takes place on the UCSB campus and incorporates the surrounding coastal landscape. A portion of the proceeds from the event is donated to the Kendra Chiota Payne Memorial Fund.

The event provides several participation options for athletes, focusing on multi-sport and running disciplines:

  • Sprint Triathlon
