So we inform you that this week we will do the following trainings:
- Tuesday 23rd July - 25km training - Release in 3 parts (no classification)
- July 25th, Thursday - 25 km training - Joint release (with classification)
- July 27th, Saturday - 40 km training - Joint release (with classification)
19/7/24- 20 KM TRAINING TAKES PLACE ON 7/20/2024
We inform that the 20 km training will take place on Saturday, July 20th, with basketing on Friday night, July 19th.
TRAINING 10KM JULY 18, 2024
Good morning, according to our information a few days ago, on our Facebook, on our website and sent an email to all participants explaining that like last year we had some problems with the pigeons in the first training sessions, as the pigeons did not leave the place of release, and this year we thought about releasing in 3 parts, in the first 3 training sessions, which happened, and it went very well, as the pigeons quickly left the release location and arrived at the loft quickly.
Benzing was turned on and tested, and it also went well, but as the release was not with all pigeons together, it would not be correct to put the ratings online, so everything is ready to put ratings online when we release the pigeons all together, which we think could happen in the third or maximum fourth training, as we will see the behavior of the pigeons in the next training session in which they will also be released in 2 parts.
Thank you for understanding

13-7-2024- BENZING ENTRY LIST 2024
CLICK- LIST BENZING 2024
Once the Benzing chips are attached to the pigeons in the loft, you can click on the link and see the list of pigeons entered in the loft, 7302, for the 2024 edition.
Unfortunately, around 300 do not have a CHIP attached, which indicates that they are not in the loft, as they did not survive the period of quarantine and preventive treatments, vaccination and first flights around the loft. We are sorry but we did our best.
If you have any questions or requests for clarification, please send an email to - golden.race.algarve@gmail.com
START OF TRAINING 2024
We inform you that we will start training for 2024 next Tuesday, July 16th, with basketing on Monday night, with the following changes in relation to previous years;
The pigeons will be released in 3 parts with around +- 2430 pigeons at a time, 15 minuts separated, as we have seen that in previous years when the pigeons have been released all together (around 7000) the pigeons have had difficulty leaving the release site, as When several flocks form, the pigeons begin to circle around and do not leave. We don't know if this is right, but we're going to try this year in the first 3 training sessions to release in 3 parts, first the right side of the truck, then the left side, and then the 2nd truck.
We will film live the releases and arrival of the pigeon at loft, but there will be no classifications, as you will understand.
