MONTEREY, Calif. (BRAIN) — The Sea Otter Classic plans to hold its event about a month later than usual next year, announcing 2021 dates of May 20-23.
"The late spring dates are perfect for product launches and offer terrific weather. As our industry reemerges from COVID-19 restrictions, Sea Otter promises to be the best ever unabashed celebration of cycling," the event announced Friday.
"The health and safety of our attendees is our top priority. We’ll work with Monterey County health officials to ensure all proper protocols are in place. In the event that COVID restrictions prevent our spring event, our backup dates are scheduled for Oct. 7-10, 2021.
Sea Otter did not hold an in-person event in 2020 due to COVID-19. It first rescheduled the April event for October and then created a virtual event, Sea Otter Play, which was held in September.
