April is packed with action for sports fans of every stripe.
In Tulsa, equestrian enthusiasts can head to Expo Square for two major events: the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Association Spring Show (April 2-5) and the National Reining Breeders Classic (April 14-25). On the ice, the Tulsa Oilers hit the rink April 10-12 and 17 at the BOK Center, while the Tulsa Oilers football squad takes on the Fishers Freight April 18 at the same venue. Prefer to compete instead of spectate? Lace up for the ZooRun at the Tulsa Zoo on April 18, with distances for runners of all levels. The month wraps with fight-night excitement: XFN 408 on April 24 at River Spirit Casino Resort and Smoke and Guns XI – where firefighters and police square off for charity – on April 25 at the BOK Center.
In Oklahoma City, No. 1 ranked Oklahoma City Thunder close out regular-season home games April 2, 5 and 12 at the Paycom Center. Rodeo fans can catch the Cinch Breakaway National Championships April 10-12 at OKC Fair Park, while endurance athletes take over Nichols Hills Plaza for the Red Bud Classic on April 11-12, featuring running, cycling, walking and marathon events.
