The annual Sea Otter Classic cycling festival and expo is coming up April 19-22, 2018! The event is hosted each year at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California. The event draws nearly 10,000 athletes and over 70,000 fans.
There are races, non-competitive rides, events, demo opportunities and clinics happening all weekend long. There are many events - women’s specific, activities for kids and families, ebike demos and more!
This “season opener” event draws an international crowd and is a popular opportunity for brands to unveil new products and gear for the upcoming season. While the event is cycling focused, many outdoor industry brands will exhibit too. Whether you prefer riding roads or trails, Sea Otter will have something for you.
