Cross-country racing at Sea Otter is
en Fuego (“on fire”).
Fuego is the fire and passion inside each cross-country rider during long hours of training. It’s the sensation in your muscles when you push your body to the limit. It’s the spark that ignites with the crack of the starting pistol and the flame that abides after you cross the finish line.
The Sea Otter Fuego tests racers by the fire of the Fort Ord National Monument’s rolling hills and gravel trails. The itinerary includes three race distances: Short, 40k, and 80k.
Fuego XC Short Course (Junior Racers Only)This spectator-friendly course for all of our young athletes (ages 10-14), starts at the Sea Otter Bridge and climbs the Laguna Seca Raceway’s famous “Corkscrew” before looping back for a closely contested finish. As your juniors get their first taste of the steep climbs and rock gardens along the Fuego’s four-mile short circuit, make sure you grab a front-row seat for the sizzling action.
*ALL Cross Country races start at Sea Otter bridge and finish at Tire Bridge.
