We would love to invite your community to join us for something truly special — the Celebrate Life Run 5K on Saturday, February 21st, set in the breathtaking Santa Ynez countryside.

This is more than a run. It’s a celebration of life, resilience, and hope — honoring those who have faced their own struggles and come through stronger.

The run begins at Believe Ranch and Rescue, a sanctuary for horses rescued from abuse, neglect, and slaughter. Participants will have the opportunity to meet our race hosts, 2x World Champion & Hall of Famer Siri Lindley and her wife, 6 x Iron Distance Champion Bek Keat. Siri’s story is one of extraordinary resilience — having survived acute myeloid leukemia with just a 5% chance of survival — making this day a powerful reminder of what it means to celebrate life fully.

Beyond the run, this is a joyful, family-friendly community event featuring:

• Local artisan and vendor markets

• Baked goodies and food vendors

• Horse rides and mini donkeys

• A farm animal petting area with goats and tortoises

• Time to meet and connect with our incredible rescue horses

All proceeds from this event go to our non-profit 501c3 Believe Ranch and Rescue to help save more lives. Every step taken and every smile shared helps support our horse rescue, and we would be deeply grateful if you could share this event with your community.
