This milestone year continues a long-standing community tradition, offering fully supported routes designed for every level of rider.

More than just a cycling event, Tour de Lakes continues to bring the community together in support of local parks. Proceeds benefit the Legacy for LS Parks Foundation, helping enhance park facilities and expand recreational opportunities throughout Lee’s Summit.
