Our Mission
Through sports and recreation, promote an active and healthy lifestyle for children, and support our recovering veterans.
The Sea Otter Classic Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in 2012 by the Sea Otter Classic, the largest cycling festival, consumer bike expo, race schedule and “celebration of cycling” in North America.
Each year, we introduce thousands of Monterey County elementary students to bike safety, riding skills, and the benefits of cycling through our sponsored bike skills school assemblies. We hope these experiences inspire young riders to see bicycling—in all its forms—as part of an active, healthy lifestyle.
Through our E-Bikes for Veterans program, and in partnership with the Veterans Transition Center of California, we help local veterans regain independence with e-bikes that provide reliable transportation as they move from crisis to self-sufficiency.
