Scenes from 2022 Sea Otter Classic Expo

Monterey County’s Sea Otter Classic was launched in 1991 as Laguna Seca Challenge, then renamed Sea Otter Classic in 1993. World-renowned as a Celebration of Cycling, April 7-10, 2022 was the 31st event. SOC has been an annual event in Monterey County for 32 years—with the exception of 2020, when it was cancelled due to the global pandemic.
