Tour de Trail: Lexington Lake is a 10k trail race in DeSoto, Kansas, part of the Tour de Trail Series. The course, set around Lexington Lake, generally covers about 6 miles across Kansas City-area trails, with distances varying by trail conditions. The event emphasizes a cupless format—you provide your own hydration gear—and offers water, sparkling water, and sodas at the finish.

Aid is limited but ample; the series features new trails each year, with an alternate course if a trail closes. Registration supports Urban Trail Co. and Trail Mix Fund; completing all six races earns a special finishers hoodie. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
