The Grand Prairie Police Department has thrown down the gauntlet, inviting folks to the 13th Annual Grand Prairie Police Spring Classic Motorcycle Rodeo. It's all happening at the Epic Waters parking lot this week from April 11 to April 13, and if you've got a penchant for precision riding and obstacle courses, this is the place to be.

According to the Grand Prairie Police Department, the event kicks off at 12:30 pm on Thursday, April 11th, and runs through Saturday. Visitors can witness motorcycle officers navigating tight patterns and showcasing their dexterity on two wheels in challenges that test their limits. It's not just local pride on the line—these officers take their craft very seriously.

Friday's schedule starts bright and early at 9:00 am and wraps up at 3:00 pm, while the final day of competition on Saturday kicks off at 8:00 am, with festivities concluding at the same time. Taking place at 2970 Epic Pl in the vast expanse of the Epic Waters parking lot, there's plenty of room for spectators to enjoy the action up close without getting tangled in the course itself.

With the annual event now in its thirteenth iteration, the Spring Classic Motorcycle Rodeo has become a staple for the community and a source of camaraderie among law enforcement agencies. Riders from various precincts gather not only to compete but to share techniques and foster a spirit of professional development—a critical aspect of an officer’s toolkit.
