FAQs
What is included in my registration?
Since the Santa Maria Fitness Series will be held quarterly, we have decided to forego t-shirts and medals. Instead we have lowered the price and passed the savings onto you. Also, 40% of the net proceeds of your registration goes to the Santa Maria Valley YMCA to directly benefit their kid’s fitness programs. So, by attending this event, you are supporting childhood fitness in Santa Maria and the surrounding area.
