WORLD’S PREMIER CYCLING FESTIVAL
Kick off the cycling season on the California coast at the world’s premier cycling festival.
If you’re looking to RACE + RIDE + DEMO, welcome home. Meet us in glorious Monterey, California, for the official start of the season at the Life Time Sea Otter Classic presented by Continental. Test ride the latest gear from 1,000+ bike brands and converse with cycling legends at the Sea Otter Expo. Rip through gnarly gravel and shred down massive berms in one of our 12 Races. Embrace the beauty of biking with our untimed Recreational Rides.
The Sea Otter Classic is more than a festival. More than a race. More than an Expo. It’s where the world comes to celebrate cycling.
One festival, 12 race disciplines. The cycling world unites to celebrate all racers – from the professional to the amateur. Races include gravel, cross country, downhill, dual slalom, enduro, and circuit.
Soak up the views and leave your watch behind. Traverse Monterey’s iconic and breathtaking coastline and rolling hills with two Gran Fondos. And explore the trails of Fort Ord with new routes in 2025 at the Family Off-Road Tour and Robles Off-Road Tour.
The latest tech is at your fingertips. Our four Ride Zones are open for kids and adults to test out the newest gear, or to finally try that bike you’ve been eying.
