Join us and Volunteer at the 2026 Life Time Sea Otter Classic
The Life Time Sea Otter Classic – recognized as the world’s largest and most celebrated cycling festival – is set to return to the beautiful Laguna Seca Recreation Area from April 16-19, 2026.
Each year, more than 1,400 dedicated volunteers from a variety of local non-profit organizations generously lend their time and energy to support this incredible event. In recognition of their valuable contributions, the Sea Otter Classic Foundation awards financial grants to these organizations as a token of appreciation for their volunteer hours. Individuals who are not affiliated with any organization are also warmly welcome to volunteer.
All volunteers are rewarded with a 4-day festival pass, an official t-shirt, lunch, and the sincere gratitude of the entire Sea Otter Classic community. For additional details on how your organization can get involved or how you can volunteer as an individual, please visit our Volunteer page.
