Debuting 26 years ago as the Laguna Seca Challenge with a total of 350 athletes and 150 spectators, the Sea Otter Classic is now regarded as the worldโ€™s premiere cycling festival hosting over 10,000 athletes and 65,000 fans. The โ€œcelebration of cyclingโ€ attracts professional and amateur athletes alike who make the annual pilgrimage to participate in some of the sportโ€™s most competitive and enduring events.

Mountain bike races include cross country, downhill, dual slalom and short track. Road cyclists compete in circuit, criterium, and road racing. Cyclocross and non-competitive events are also offered. The event hosts the largest consumer bike expo in North America, and features an international food court, entertainment, bike demos, stunt shows, and carnival activities for children.
