Day Long Event Benefits Less Fortunate While Placing Race Fans in Heart of the MotoGP



While slots are going fast, exclusive passes are still available for motorcycle racing fans to join a unique opportunity to become an insider in the MotoGP World Championship paddock and enjoy a day that any motorcycle fan would envy during the first Riders For Health Day at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Thursday, July 19.

Three-time World Champion and Monterey resident Wayne Rainey, motorcycling legend Randy Mamola, and other superstars past and present are scheduled to meet and greet fans and supporters during the day’s activities. Among the highlights include a motorcycle rally through the scenic Central California countryside, parade laps around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, and pit and paddock tours.

Nearly 150,000 people will attend the Red Bull U. S. Grand Prix July 20-22, but thanks to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and Riders for Health 100 fans will take part in this amazing day, supporting the official charity of the MotoGP World Championship and the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM).

Born out of the world of motorcycle racing, Riders for Health provides healthcare workers in Africa with access to reliable motorcycles and the means to maintain those bikes so they can reach even remote villages with the kind of regular, reliable health care that most of the world takes for granted.

These limited edition Riders for Health Day tickets are available for $500 with all proceeds going to the charity. This special ticket includes:

• A morning motorcycle tour of scenic Central California through Carmel Valley and Monterey’s up-and-coming wine country

• Lunch in the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca paddock

• An exclusive tour

• A three lap parade ride around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, including the Corkscrew

• Chances to meet MotoGP riders past and present, including Grand Prix legend Randy Mamola and Wayne Rainey

• An auction of exclusive racing memorabilia, including memorabilia from World Champion Nicky Hayden

Those who purchase a ticket but don’t wish to ride a motorcycle will be given a shuttle tour of Carmel Valley, including wine tasting stops along the way and a tour on-track of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

The general public will be invited to the live auction including race memorabilia, which will begin at 4pm. Admission to the auction will be free. More details on the auction, including items available, will be released at a later date.
