Life Time Sea Otter Classic

The Sea Otter Classic is known worldwide as THE premier cycling festival, a place where riding connections are celebrated each spring, but that doesn’t mean we can’t branch out a little! New for 2026, we’re adding a first-ever trail run at the Sea Otter Classic! Explore scenic Fort Ord in a whole new way with two distances to choose from: a 17K (10.6mi) lap with 1600’ of elevation gain, or a family friendly 5K (2.8mi) loop. Each route will see runners explore the trails of Laguna Seca before a triumphant finish on the iconic raceway track. Strollers are welcome on the 5K course and everyone comes home with a finisher’s medal! It’ll be the perfect way for runners and riders alike to start their Saturday! Find full race fees, inclusions, and more below!
